Who doesn’t love stumbling upon a puzzle where you didn’t expect one?

I’m sure many of us do. I certainly do!

So when musician and YouTuber im sad alex dropped a new song that included a word search in the video, you know I had to jump on that!

Alex claims all of their exes’ names are concealed in this grid, and if you find all of them, you’ll get a secret message.

Here’s a screenshot of the grid so you can take a crack at it yourself:

I wasn’t able to complete a perfect solve, but I found the following names: Patrick, David, Mark, Robert, Kyle, Chris, Sam, Greg, Joe, Eva, Leo, Chet, Pearl, Rasmus, and Cale.

It took a few tries, because there are other options like Jay, Earl, Abe, etc., but I got pretty close by solving as I tried to assemble the message hidden in the remaining letters.

The message I found read: It did not work out and I married a tall boy who loves me very very much and I love him very much too.

The only part I couldn’t resolve was the double E in the very last “VERY”.

But it was a fun challenge!

I highly recommend checking out Alex’s songs. They’re an entertaining mix of sweet and funny, and her voice is absolutely gorgeous.

I’ll conclude today’s post with my favorite imsadalex song, which is her duet with the very meme-able Dirt Man song:
