This puzzle presents solvers with a bunch of broken pieces of pottery that have to be assembled back together. Upon completing the jigsaw, the solvers will find that each completed piece of pottery (1) has a unique shape, (2) has a unique number on it, and (3) has a defined (and sometimes quite variable) number of pieces.
The fact that there are 11 assembled pieces of pottery and 11 feeders associated with this puzzle should indicate that each feeder answer can be associated with a piece of pottery. The idea of text on pottery, along with the conspicuous term 'Rae' in the flavortext, should clue that this puzzle uses products made by Rae Dunn!
Looking through databases of products or searching terms like "[feeder] Rae Dunn" should reveal that each feeder can be uniquely associated with the outline of a piece of pottery actually made by Rae Dunn. This database is also kind of insanely fun to look through; who knew you could buy Rae Dunn garden gnomes?
Matching each feeder with its outline and indexing into the feeders based on the number of pieces in the jigsaw of that product gives the following:
| Pottery Piece | Feeder | Number of Pieces | Extracted Letter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BASMATI RICE | 10 | C |
| 2 | MARGARITA | 3 | R |
| 3 | HOLIDAY SPIRIT | 6 | A |
| 4 | CHARCUTERIE | 5 | C |
| 5 | COOK | 4 | K |
| 6 | BOIL | 2 | O |
| 7 | HELLO BEETIFUL | 11 | F |
| 8 | PARADISE | 5 | D |
| 9 | BEAUTY QUEEN | 4 | U |
| 10 | THE LION KING | 7 | N |
| 11 | SOFTEN UP | 6 | N |
Ordering based on the unique numbers written on each object extracts the answer CRACK OF DUNN.
