Words ... letters ... I know the difference. Totally.

| Oct 29, 2016 at 12:52 | comment | added | Xenocacia | Thank you! Yes, @Rubio really made quite an inspired leap of deduction there, and with minimal help from me aside from repeatedly stressing the clues in the introductory text. :) | |
| Oct 29, 2016 at 5:05 | comment | added | Rubio♦ | there was no obvious connection between the words, but finding one would be simplest with that block of just two words... and then it struck me. there was that W in the middle of COWER, and another at the beginning of WINDY ... and put them together at that W, you have both a literal connection, and a letter. Finding most of an S with what we had for block 5 made it likely, and when my previously discarded guess of "SHOW" for the final word was confirmed, completing that S, that cinched it | |
| Oct 29, 2016 at 5:05 | comment | added | Rubio♦ | We were in a chat room, I was bemoaning the fact that w/o knowing the connection between each block's clues we were reduced to trial and error asking if our latest guesses for the answer words were correct . . . when suddenly it came to me... | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 6:57 | comment | added | Rubio♦ | Yes, we made the "driving me NUTS" observation while solving it (and stack reader included it in his answer below); I forgot to put it in and didn't feel like going back afterwards for yet another edit, especially when it speaks for itself. :) glad you were entertained vicariously--we had fun solving it too. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 6:53 | comment | added | CiaPan | As a not native speaker (and not even a speaker generally, just reader and writer) it was a great time to watch you – all of you – solving the puzzle. I didn't even try myself, as not fluent enough. Those bolded words wouldn't even cross my mind, even though I know most of them. Anyway I'd like to expand the solution a bit by pointing out the connection of the answer with the opening sentence in the puzzle's title: 'This puzzle is driving me NUTS.' | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 3:57 | comment | added | Xenocacia | Awesome answer @Rubio, and great work everyone! It was fun watching you guys solve this, and I hope to make more of such puzzles in the near future. :) | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 2:45 | comment | added | Xenocacia | This answer is well on the way to being accepted, but it would be great if you could provide explanations for some of the less obvious riddles (e.g. 4.5). | |
