Friday Edition - May 25, 2026

Good morning, Member 👋

Hello, friends! I’m Sethia, one of the crew members usually working behind the scenes. It’s such a treat to finally meet you. One thing about me: I adore cats, and my own, Tootsie, who has a special place in my heart. He offers the warmest cuddles, and because he is still very much a cat, he also starts mornings by stomping on my face. I call it love, he calls it breakfast. But I digress… Tell me, who’s the four-legged, feathered or furry boss in your home? Pictures are absolutely welcome!

Now, let’s crack yesterday’s riddle: I am white, black and read all over. What am I?

The answer is newspaper! Hooray to our brilliant Riddle Masters!

For your next brain teaser, unscramble this: E Q U N E

Send in your answer, and earn a chance to be in Monday’s winners list. Today’s lineup includes how you can get a FREE Kroger appliance, a frightening Costco recall, a familiar face and their cancer diagnosis, and so much more!
