PUZZLE #431
THE BLOCK LIST 5
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!
In each numbered row of squares, fill in the squares of each color with one of the given words below from the set of that color, keeping the letters in their original order, so that the entire row spells out a single longer word. However, you have to figure out what each smaller, color-coded word is based on the clues given.
Once you're done with the first four rows, enter the letters of the remaining words into the last row of squares similarly to spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a brand of cleaning products whose name is more than one word.
RED WORDS
• Camper's canvas covering
• _____ de plume (pen name)
• Divisible by two
• Fix, as a fight
BLUE WORDS
• Automated spam sender
• Bled in the washing machine
• Synonym for "mutilate" or "maul" that also starts with "M"
• Video game company that developed Columns and Crazy Taxi
GREEN WORDS
• "Everything You _____" (#1 hit by Vertical Horizon)
• Great blue wading bird
• Pointy part of a football shoe
• Sisters who sing "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" in The Sound of Music
ORANGE WORDS
• "Air Force Ones" rapper
• First of three Latin words in Caesar's boast
• Icon on an iMac that looks like a garbage can
• The title character of Shrek Forever After, for one
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!
