How to Open the Puzzle Box on the Junior Level in Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor

"Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor" has many puzzles with varying levels of difficulty. When you start the game you must choose to play as a Junior Detective or Senior Detective. Puzzles in the Junior Detective mode are easier, and you get more hints than in Senior mode. One of the first puzzle Nancy finds is the puzzle box in her bedroom, but you are unable to solve it until later in the game.
