CipherdayCheck an answer without spoiling the rest
Each answer below sits in its own fold, so you can open one and leave the others closed. You may not need them: once every blank is filled, Show mistakes crosses out only the wrong letters, and Hint reveals one letter at a time.
A first move for puzzle 1
The code word IKPDA appears twice, and so does EKZFY. Two five-letter words that repeat side by side, "_____ _____ at all, is _____ _____ well", read as WORTH DOING. That alone fills nine different letters.
