PUZZLE #279
TRIANGLE TANGLE
To solve this puzzle, enter the 4-letter answer to each clue into the diagram either from top to bottom or diagonally upward. There are two numbers starting each clue; each answer begins in the triangle marked with the first number, and ends in the triangle marked with the second.
Once the grid has been filled in, there are two more words hiding in the topmost row of letters and the bottommost row of letters. Combine them both to get the FINAL ANSWER: the name of a series of educational computer games
1-2) Where the sidewalk ends
2-3) Mario and Luigi, for short
3-4) Underperforming Star Wars film about Han's early days
4-5) Buck-toothed snowman from Frozen II

6-7) Moral _____ (Adult Swim show that satirizes religious hypocrisy)
7-8) Online release of confidential info
8-9) Shiva's wife in Hinduism
9-10) Woes of the world

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for two versions you can print out: a .PNG and a link to a .PDF!
