PUZZLE #375
BACK-OOPS
One of the clues in this puzzle contains a phrase suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!
Some words become different words when flipped around, such as PART and TRAP. The answers to this puzzle almost fit that description, but are a little off. To figure out what they are, fill in each space in the direction of the blue arrow with the answer to each corresponding numbered clue. Where a box is divided by a horizontal line, fill in a different letter below so that a new word is formed when read backwards through the pink arrow which matches one of the clues in the "Backward Words" section (listed in no particular order).
Once everything's filled out, the changed letters on the pink arrow, when read backwards, will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: the name of a classic rock song.
FORWARD WORDS (blue arrow)
1) Kansas City baseballer (or the shade of blue on his uniform)
2) Belonging to those guys
3) "Papa Was a _____ Stone" (#1 song by The Temptations)
4) "Hungry Hungry" board game animals
5) Ten-legged crustacean
6) Frosty and Olaf, for two
7) Type of cloud in the name of Harry Potter's first broom
BACKWARD WORDS (pink arrow)
• Audrey Tautou's role in The Da Vinci Code
• Brain cells that the average human has about 100 billion of
• Christian rock band that shares its name with a column
• Dudley Do-_____
• Gave toys to Toys for Tots, for example
• Lasagna section
• Send in an entry to The New Yorker's Cartoon Caption Contest
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 even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) 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 a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
