PUZZLE #309: Headless Words 2

PUZZLE #309

HEADLESS WORDS 2

Uh-oh! All of these words have lost their heads, and it's up to you to reattach them! First, write down the answers to the "Headless Clues" (listed in no particular order) into each white right-hand box. Then, write down one OR two letters into each gray left-hand box so that these letters, when added in front of each word, form the answer to one of the "Whole Clues" below (also listed in random order).

Once you've filled everything in, rearrange the completed words so that the letters in the gray boxes, reading down, spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a type of person

HEADLESS CLUES

• Before the due date

• Caracal or cougar, e.g.

• Insult comedian Don who voiced Mr. Potato Head

• Perfume's pleasant aroma

• _____ the Woods (Tony-winning musical)

• Yelled "De-fense! De-fense!" repeatedly, say

WHOLE CLUES

• "50:50" on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, for one

• Actor Zachary who played Sylar on Heroes (2006-10)

• Disney film about an animated princess transported to live-action New York

• Not quite, but almost

• Slowly drips down

• The first computer game that lets you fly with "six degrees of freedom" (EASIER CLUE: Downward path)

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 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!
