University Magazine Fall 2022 Puzzles

Can you solve this?

This RIT puzzle has three parts.

  • Complete each sentence by filling in the blanks. You’ll find many of the answers in the magazine. The length of each missing word is indicated by the number after the blank.
  • Find the fill-in-the-blank words in the word search. They are forward, backward, diagonal, or reverse diagonal. In order to find all the words, you will have to fill in letters in the central square.
  • Once you have found all the words, read all of the unused letters in the word search in order. The unused letters will spell out a clue on how to find the secret message. Hint— the secret message is about people found at RIT.
