Merry Christmas! In keeping with the season, I present to you my latest chapbook, All the Words of the Reindeer. It is all the words I found (2078, it turns out) I could create with one letter from each of the reindeer names in Twas The Night Before Christmas. My longest chapbook yet, it's a sort-of followup to my 2024 chapbook, All the Words of the Rainbow (which used the common names of the colors of the visible spectrum (ROYGBIV)). Printed and staple bound at home, zine-style. Share your postal address with me and I'll drop one in the mail to you. Merry Christmas!

A close shot of the front cover of a chapbook.  Black text on white paper.  One line of text is "All the Words of the Reindeer" and the other line is "Matthew M. Conroy".  A thumb is visible in the lower left, part of the hand that is holding the chapbook up to be photographed.A closeup photograph of black text on white paper.  The paper is curved; the page is bent away from the camera to left and right.  Much of the text is blurry. The text is in groups, each of which is a permutation of the names Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen arranged in a vertical stack. The names are shifted left and right so that a set of letters, one from each name, align and spell a word.  There are about 20 such stacks on the page.  The one in the center is danCer, dOnner, coMet, Blitzen, vIxen, praNcer, dashEr, cupiD, spelling the word COMBINED.

A loose quantity of cumber is cumbersome. Might be useful to consolidate it into a cumberbatch.

Hope you all avoid the trap of year-end reviews and just keep on being creative.

Wicked Wonderful Wordies 
a visual idiom puzzle
------------------------------
description
The words "Having a Time?" with the word time very jagged
------------------------------
Explanation:
Typically, some kind of text is arranged inside, or somewhere around a square frame. The arrangement can be significant, and might be the key to recognizing the idiom. 

The puzzle can be difficult to solve because the idiom or common phrase may not be common to the person trying to solve the puzzle.

Sometimes there is an "AhHa!" moment, though.

Answers and an archive of the puzzles is available at http://runeman.org/wordies.
