Inspired by our friend Tyler’s performance on a game show (um, seven years ago) we’re proud to present a gridlock puzzle! Kelsey gave this one a test-solve, thanks Kelsey! Here’s how it works:

This puzzle consists of five grids with some letters pre-filled. In each grid, you must use letters from a nine-letter word to fill in the nine empty spaces to form common English words. You must determine which nine-letter word goes with which grid.

Tyler was able to solve one of these puzzles on TV in three and a half minutes. Post your times in the comments below!

In other news, I’ve been busy on websites that aren’t mine. After you’re done with this one, check out a themed crossword I made with Will Eisenberg and an acrostic I made with meatdaddy!

Enjoy the solve!

    Not Tyler-worthy, but a serviceable 5:41
