Solving Approach
This one works out to about 4.8 letters per word on average. This puzzle leans toward longer words — apostrophes and doubled letters will likely crack it open faster than word length alone. Rated medium, this one asks for a bit more pattern recognition than a warm-up puzzle, but nothing that requires guesswork.
About J. Paul Getty
J. Paul Getty was an American industrialist and art collector who became one of the world's richest men through oil investments. He famously said "the meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights," reflecting his ruthless business philosophy. Getty amassed an extraordinary private art collection and founded the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, which remains one of America's most prestigious cultural institutions.
Did you know? When his grandson J. Paul Getty III was kidnapped in 1973, Getty initially refused to pay the ransom, believing it to be a hoax.
