The solution to last issue’s rather difficult* domino-themed puzzle, Script­ominoes III, is presented here. The script cate­gories—color-coded for your delight and elucidation—are Batak, Buginese, Cham, Javanese, Sundanese, Tagalog, Tai Tham, and Thaana.

Each of the puzzlemeisters below will receive some moderately desirable SpecGram merch of their choosing:**

Vincent Fish • Lachlan Turner • Raymond Dumont • Rowena Bautista

Felicitations to all!



* As threatened promised, this Scriptominoes puzzle was harder than the last one, and the next (Indic-themed***) and likely final puzzle in the Scriptominoes series will outdo them all! —Eds.

** And now that we have more than one puzzle per issue, you can win more than one spectacular prize per issue, too. Go Lachlan!

*** That’s a pretty big hint for those of you who are smart enough to read the footnotes!
