Begin with Agent Morris’s note about the tabloid. He provides a 7x7 grid with numbers. Where else in the tabloid is there a 7x7 grid?

The first place to start is the crossword. Click here to view the crossword answers.

Use the grid’s numbers with the crossword to get a message. The message is FIRST WORDS IN DOODLE. There is a "DOODLE TIME" comic. Is there a way to get "first words" from the comic to get another message?

Taking the first words in the sentences of the comic spell out the message "FIND MISSING LETTERS IN THE ARTICLES." There are two articles in the tabloid.

Read each article carefully and look for the missing letters in them. The first article’s missing letters spell out PAIR BITES and the second article’s missing letters spell out GET SHARED WORDS. There is a "Weekly Bites" section that the message seems to refer to.

Each of the eight bites seems related to one next to it by its topic. When they are "paired" together, each pair shares 1 to 2 words each. For instance, the first pair about the new playground and the recreational areas shares the word "not."

The shared words spell out the phrase "not modern or whiskey drink." Is there a phrase that fits with "not modern" and is also a "whiskey drink"?

The final answer is Old Fashioned.
