Dear fans of Pearl’s Puzzle:

We’re sorry we had to leave out Pearl’s Puzzle in the 9/7 issue. And to make matters worse, we included the answers to the 8/31 issue as the clues the 9/14 issue. Confused yet? We’ll try not to let it happen again.

Here’s a look at what we may have missed/messed up/cried about this week and last. Just breathe, everyone. This is supposed to be fun. 

Puzzle words for 9/14:

Fill in every row, column, and 3×3 box with each of the letters:
H E R  T O X I N S

The highlighted letters read left to right and top to bottom will complete the quote:

“I love the____, and the_____loves me back. Why else would it offer me so much____?” – Stephen Colbert.
