  • $\begingroup$ @D.Mellow You should be able to type it out like <blockquote><pre>WDCVAIOH...</pre></blockquote> You won't need double-spaces for line breaks when typing in that and all characters will be fixed-width, so they will line up nicely. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I edited the question, now it has an answer that you already know, because Ringo should not appear in the word search, but I accidentally include it! (Also corrected the misspelling) Thanks everybody! $\endgroup$

Corrected with help from Jaap Scherphuis:

What's missing could be

One of the seven deadly sins. So far I see WRATH and PRIDE (GLUTONNY is present as a misspelling of gluttony; unclear if a mistake or if this is the "missing" word)

There are a number of potential

red herrings, including SIGHT, TOUCH, SMELL, TASTE, HEARING (five senses) and EARTH, AIR, WATER, FIRE (four elements)

  • $\begingroup$ Some of the other sins are in there as well (pride, gluttony). Could it not just as well be a missing one of those? Or maybe Umami? Maybe wind is not present, but air is? $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 20, 2017 at 14:32
  • $\begingroup$ Certainly possible - I haven't found all of those. I did search for my answer word and I'm fairly sure it's not in there, but it could be missing items in more than one category. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @JaapScherphuis Also, did you actually find gluttony? So far I've only found a misspelling (glutonny). $\endgroup$
    – Dan A.
    Commented Oct 20, 2017 at 14:36
  • $\begingroup$ You're right, gluttony is misspelled. I have now found air starting at the top right corner, so you have a full set of the 4 traditional elements. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 20, 2017 at 14:38
  • $\begingroup$ Nice. I'll update my answer. Also - I'm new to puzzling: are we to delete comments that reference a possible answer since they aren't behind spoiler tags? $\endgroup$
