PUZZLE #487
MASQUERADE PARTY 3
Below are rows of blanks that each need to be filled in with a 6- or 7-letter word; these words are clued in no particular
order. However, one letter in each word is "in disguise" as another word. The locations of the disguised letters are indicated
by symbols and the disguises themselves are clued next to those symbols below. Replace each symbol/disguised letter with
its corresponding word to form a longer word.
Once everything has been correctly filled out, the letters that have been replaced by symbols will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a movie that has been nominated for the Best Costume Design Oscar

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!
