Wishing Well HERE IS A PLEASANT LITTLE GAME that will give you a mes- sage every day. It's a numerical puzzle designed to spell out your fortune. Count the letters in your first name. If the number of letters is 6 or more, subtract 4. If the number is less than 6, add 3. The result is your key number. Start at the upper left- hand corner and check each of your key numbers, left to right. Then read the message the letters under the checked figures give you.
