0 Guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Something has to be wrong in there...I can't figure out how to make anything out of those letters. hmm...I figured it would be obvious to someone else - like the last one which didn't follow the usual pattern. But I haven't found anything yet. And even if one or two are off, I'm pretty sure most are correct, so we should be able to make something out of it. Any one know what the "+ inspired by" in the subtitle represents? That's a new addition from previous editions of these puzzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking maybe "inspired by" is another clue we have to figure out. Then the beginnings of all our words plus "inspired by" will form new words. Possible?
