ANSWERS: Anagram Chambers 2

It's been thirteen days since I posted my second "Anagram Chambers" puzzle, and you guys seemed to like it, since the amount of solvers for this one passed the double-digit mark! Here's a list of those solvers below:

Eric Maddy ****
Paolo Pasco ****
YYW ****
Adam Weaver ****
Sam Levitin ****
Lynn Sweeney **
Mom ***
Debbie Underwood **** (Especially impressive since she solved this one over the phone!)
Grant Fikes ****
Tyler Hinman ****
My sister Alex ****

Now just head below the break for the answers, along with a couple solver comments and a small anecdote regarding me and the subject of the FINAL ANSWER!

The letters in the light-green squares spell out SLCTYAR TSCLSEA, which may seem like nonsense until you rearrange the chambers so they spell out CRYSTAL CASTLES

Believe it or not, I actually got the chance to play this game a little while ago, trackball and all, since it was one of the games playable at the travelling arcade exhibit "Videotopia"! I went a few months ago, and of course I had a blast, spending pretty much the entire afternoon there!

Solver Sam Levitin, on the other hand, wasn't as lucky, saying that "boy, the 80's were my era in the arcades, and I never saw this one. Huh."

Solver Adam Weaver noted that "At first I had incorrectly spelled 'Clarise', which made the right side only anagram to 'tassels.' Not too many games with that in the title."

Impressed with your anagram puzzles. They are both entertaining and challenging. The “CRYSTAL CASTLES” twist was delightful. It's fascinating how simple letters rearranged can create such nostalgia.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT, THEN?

Every week on Monday, I post a new puzzle for you guys to solve. Just send me the FINAL ANSWER to each puzzle within two weeks of its posting via email (redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com) and if it's right, you'll win bragging rights and a place on the solvers list. Sometimes, I might even give away some prizes on some puzzles! Starting with puzzle #329, you can even ask for as many hints as you want from me, but you'll get a mark noting that you did so next to your name on the solvers' list.

From May 2015 until the very end of March 2021, I had made use of a "hint star" system: Each potential solver starts out with four "hint stars" that will go next to their name on the solvers list, and if you would like help on solving the puzzle (be it an alternate clue or a nudge towards a right answer or something like that), you can email me using the same email addresses that you use to send me the FINAL ANSWER, and I'll provide you with a hint as quickly as I can, but at the expense of one of those stars. So someone who solved it after two hints will get two stars next to their name, while someone who solved it with no hints gets all four stars next to their name when I post the solvers list.

Good luck, and happy solving!

DOs and DON'Ts

DO commission me for puzzles using PayPal, but keep in mind that I won't accept payment of any sort until I complete the puzzle (it ain't right to get paid for something you never finished, after all), and I reserve the right to reject commissions if I find the concept particularly objectionable (so nothing politically charged, for example)
DO print out the puzzles to solve on paper OR copy-and-paste them to an image editing program and solve them there
DO e-mail me at either redhead64@chartermi.net OR itsredhead64@gmail.com to send your answers, though I'm more likely to check the former, and DO make sure you put something relevant in the title, or else it might not get read
DO feel free to look up the answers to some of the harder clues if you don't know them, especially if they're particularly obscure or obtuse. Just DON'T tell me that you actually did that, as I'd rather have no way of knowing if you "cheated" or not
DON'T just give out the answer to any of the clues OR even the final solution in the comments, but DO try to keep them spoiler-free
DON'T claim these puzzles as your own OR monetize them; I've worked hard on these!
And most importantly, DO have fun with these puzzles! If you like them, DO share them with your friends AND link to this blog in the process
