PUZZLE #322
CHAIN REACTION: EXTRA LINKS 9
Hey, guess what? Game Show Network's Chain Reaction is coming back yet again (this time with the original 2006-07 host Dylan Lane), so I've made another puzzle inspired by that show to celebrate! Sure, it doesn't start airing until a week from now, but I didn't know that when I originally crafted this puzzle; all I had was a "Coming This February" announcement, so I made sure that it was set to be published this month. So now that you know the backstory behind this particular puzzle, here's a refresher on how to solve it!
For this puzzle, there are seven golden "links" that link together six
two-word phrases when reading down. However, it's completely blank, save for
some dashes that reveal how long each word is (four dashes translate to a
four-letter word, for instance). To help you figure out these words, though,
there are some extra silver links with words already in them which, when
combined with the golden link to the left or right of it, make another
two-word phrase. In the above example, the two-word phrases with silver links
in them are "Chain Restaurants", "Gut Reaction", "Time Zone", and "Fruit
Flies", so the final "golden chain" is "CHAIN - REACTION - TIME - FLIES".
Once you've completely filled in the chain, scramble the letters in the
orange squares to get this week's FINAL ANSWER: a seven-letter word.
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 get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star"; more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) 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!
