We are now in the final week of
Mystery Monday. Mystery Monday is a contest. In every Mystery Monday piece there is a single hidden word. The first person who finds all the hidden words and submits them to the contest website is the winner! It is a treasure hunt!
To help you understand what you have to do and what kind of words you are looking for we are going to explain the
very first Mystery Monday, and give away its solution.
The first Mystery Monday is very easy. Smack down in the middle of the page, in a noticeable yellow font is the word "Lotto", with the winning series printed below. This is also right above the important news article about our hero's death, so it is quite hard to miss. The winning lottery numbers represent positions in the alphabet. The first number, "15", is "O". The "O" is the 15th letter of the alphabet. The word we are looking for is thus "
Orion".
How can you know whether or not you got the right word? While you can never know for sure it is usually too much of a coincidence to be accidental. In most Mystery Mondays there are also hidden hints present, all pointing to the same word and giving you extra confirmation that you have found the right word. Also, all the words we are looking for relate to each other and/or the game in one way or another. The more words you will find the more a pattern will begin to emerge. This first word, Orion, is a prominent constellation and it plays a significant role in the mythology of many cultures around the world. All the hidden words are in one way or another related to mythology, space, symbolism, ancient science, or relevant locations.
