PUZZLE #380
CHAIN REACTION: BRANCHING OUT 4
It's been a while since I've done this particular puzzle type, and I'm guessing that's because of its higher difficulty compared to other "Chain Reaction" puzzles (judging by the low amount of solvers that the previous "Branching Out" puzzle got). With that in mind, I should probably remind you all that you can always email me for a hint if/when you get stuck (though you'll be marked as having done so once your name gets posted on the solvers' list). Anyway, here are the directions on how to solve this particular puzzle:
First, find the answers to the clues, which are listed in alphabetical order of their answers. The bracketed numbers at the end of each clue are the lengths of each answer. Then, place the answers into the white boxes in the diagram below (leave the pink box alone for now) so that reading right, each pair of boxes that are connected with a line create a two-word phrase or compound word. There may be multiple possibilities for these phrases, but there's only one way that all the words will fit together.
The FINAL ANSWER is the seven-letter mode of transportation that goes in the pink box to create three more two-word phrases.
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!
