ANSWERS: Lucky Sevens 10

Roughly two weeks have passed by since "Lucky Sevens 10" was posted on this blog, and a whopping seventeen people have successfully solved it since then! Not only that, every single one of them used zero hints to do so:

Grant Fikes ****
Cindy Heisler ****
Giovanni Pagano ****
Joe Bernard ****
Kevin Orfield ****
Karen Spencer ****
Tyler Hinman ****
Mom ****
Tamara Brenner ****
Sam Levitin ****
Wendy Walker ****
Lbray53 ****
Marich ****
Lynn Sweeney ****
Peter Abide ****
Elliott Frankfother ****
Debbie Benford ****

Speaking of hints, I'm finally set to implement that new hint system starting tomorrow after teasing it for the past few weeks. So while you wait for that to happen, head below the break for the answers as well as a couple solvers' comments!

The letters in the colored squares read out TENABLE

Solver Sam Levitin caught on to to the fact that the FINAL ANSWER this time was chosen deliberately, saying "Haha, ten able. Not only a puzzle, but a pun thrown in too. 😊"

Solver Wendy Walker said "I did have to confirm the meta answer on Google as I haven't been back to the UK since I "studied" at Lancaster University many years ago!"

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
