Welcome to the Great American History Puzzle!
Hello, Great American History Puzzlers! I’m Ken Jennings–yes, the 70-something-time Jeopardy! champion, but also a lifelong history buff and puzzle addict. In the weeks to come, I’ll gradually be unveiling a series of diabolically devious enigmas and brain-teasers over at The Great American History Puzzle website. One lucky winner will be headed to Washington D.C. to get a personalized tour to “Secrets of the Smithsonian” that even I don’t know.
The challenge starts in the pages of this month’s issue of Smithsonian magazine–here is more information on how you can get a copy. Watch this space for more from me during the contest, and good luck.

Thanks Ken for the challenging puzzle! I enjoyed solving this first one. I can’t wait until Oct 1 for the next puzzle.
How do you get access to entering the password? We get to the home page but cant get faq, login, etc. Feel lost. Help.
Thanks.
Having so much fun working on puzzle #2. Solved the clues,but can’t quite get the answer right. Working up a brain sweat. Is there a limit to the number of times I can type in a possible answer? I would be heartbroken if I got shut down while puzzling!
