Survey Says . . . THF Crypto-Quiz Puzzler

Every September the Board of Directors and Associates of The Haiku Foundation are sent a survey. Their responses help to guide our growth and direction. We’d like to broaden our input, and so we’ll be asking you to respond to a series of questions, one per week, over the next half-year. Your replies will be weighed in our assessment of our performance.

Today’s question: The Haiku Foundation Crypto-Quiz Puzzler

And now for something completely different: The Haiku Foundation Crypto-Quiz Puzzler, inaugurated in 2015, is the creation of Anita Krumins, who curates it as a weekly blog feature on the Foundation site. Puzzles that range from easy to fiendish all feature a haiku tie-in, most commonly the name of a well-known haiku poet, but occasionally a term or technique associated with the genre. It’s not for everyone, but we have a steady and committed group of puzzlers who have managed so far to solve every puzzle. But the most difficult are yet ahead.
