The solution to the puzzle is your unique code to get into Puzzmo early and—if you like what you see—purchase one of a limited number of the site’s “lifetime” subscriptions. 

In front of Hearst Tower, The New York Public Library, and The Metropolitan Museum … but they could move so stay tuned for updates from @puzzmotoday on X.
