start | After solving some clues, you'll want to connect the words somehow. Horizontal connections work differently from vertical connections. |
start, connecting | If two words are connected horizontally, they should form a common two-word phrase or compound noun. If two words are connected vertically, they differ by exactly one letter (as in a word ladder). |
extraction | When you successfully put together the pieces in each section, you'll get the shape of a letter but with one piece missing (the connections between pieces are sometimes needed to disambiguate the letter, e.g. A vs R). You can always deduce the missing word from the two adjacent words and connections. |
extraction, missing | Arrange the 20 missing pieces into a big loop, where horizontal and vertical connections should work the same way as the rest of the puzzle. |
extraction, final | If you read the letter shapes in order of the loop, you will get four 4-letter words separated by Xs. The answer is the word that can go in the middle (i.e. it makes two-word phrases with the words to the left and right, and is one letter off from the words to the top and bottom). |
