PUZZLE #522
BACK-OOPS 3
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: a term used in video games
FORWARD WORDS (blue arrow)
1) Large amount of soup or stew
2) Cut-and-_____ (simple and straightforward)
3) Winter sport for Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn
4) With "The", classic rock band that did "We Gotta Get Out of This Place"
5) Completely immerse
6) Lighthearted parody
7) Famous vampire Count whom Batman fought in a non-canonical comic book
BACKWARD WORDS (pink arrow)
• April _____ Day ('80s slasher film where, as a prank on the audience, nobody dies)
• Compact computer also known as a "notebook"
• Endurance that runs out when Lara Croft sprints for too long in Tomb Raider III
• Handicapped permit hung off of a car's front view mirror, for one
• Metamorphic rock that sounds pleasant?
• Quirky and quite odd
• Well-versed in a language
Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, 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!
