  • Tell us where you found each of them in one email here by 11:59 p.m. on May 26 along with your name (first name, last initial).

The fun stuff

  • The sixth person to submit all 10 word locations correctly will get a shoutout in our newsletter + a $10 gift card to The 6AM Shop via email. (The 6AM Shop is run by the same behind-the-scenes crew who delivers your daily newsletters — shop Charleston swag.)
