PUZZLE #449: Triangle Tangle 5

PUZZLE #449
TRIANGLE TANGLE 5

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 racing video game


1-2) Scamander who "wrote" Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (or a lizardlike amphibian)
2-3) Itty-bitty branch
3-4) "_____ Me Everything" (hit song by Pitbull and Ne-Yo)
4-5) Second-to-last word in a fairy tale's ending
5-6) Garden hose holder
6-7) The Loud House character who often wears a seafoam green dress (answer hidden in REPLENISHED)
7-8) William who was known as the "Playwright of the Midwest"
8-9) "By Jove!"
9-10) "Drat!"
10-11) Chew like a chinchilla
11-12) Result of hair crimping
12-13) Lacking any sort of redeemable qualities
13-14) The _____ Guard (Disney Junior series about Simba's son)
14-15) Trevor who retired from hosting The Daily Show in 2022
15-16) The most difficult difficulty level in video games, often
16-17) Instrument for Def Leppard's Rick Allen
17-18) Root beer float containers

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!
