1. unscramble the letters in each pumpkin to form a word.
2. assign each word a number based on its position in the grid (top-left is 1, moving left to right, top to bottom).
3. use the numbered blanks below each pumpkin to place the corresponding letter from the unscrambled word into the final message.
4. read the final message from left to right.
