Solution to Fievel

Star Rats

Answer: ADJACENT
by Wil Zambole

The first letter of each puzzle spells out STATESIDER MAP. Going to the website https://statesider.us/us-font-map/ reveals a map with fonts named after locations in the US.

Each city contains within it a scrambled city name. Match up that city with the one listed as a font and they share one letter/space in common.

Read those letters from EAST to WEST based on the scrambled city (since Fievel goes west) to spell ANS IS ADJACENT.
