Every month of 2026, I will post a link to a puzzle in the Spear channel Discord, to be completed within the month.
Screenshots of the completed puzzle (showing time and pieces) should be sent via Discord DM to CM Mack Udar or to my email mrwathen3@gmail.com.
Rules: Screenshots need to show the number of pieces from the bottom-left corner of the screen, the time shown in the middle, and the completed puzzle. Working through the puzzle multiple times and using all the options available in the app are allowed, except one: Don't change the number of pieces.
One entry per pilot, multiple submissions will not be accepted and only the first submission will be counted.
