Solving the seemingly impossible is all part our work to keep the country safe.
Many of our workforce like to create and solve puzzles to help keep their minds sharp for their vital work.
To mark Thanksgiving in the US, we have set a multi-stage crossword puzzle, challenging your understanding of both the British and American-English.
Have a go by printing off our brainteaser below and get puzzling!
If you get stuck, see if others in your household can crack it.
Once you’ve solved it, tweet us the answer - @GCHQ
If you’re struggling, don’t worry. Keep your eyes peeled for clues throughout the day from our partners at home and across the pond: @FBI, @NSAGov, @US_CYBERCOM, @NCSC and @UKinUSA
Keep an eye on our social media channels next week to see if you got it right.
Good luck!
