(Huh, some of the less useful text turned red when I screenshotted it! That's strange.)

Okay, here's how we really did it.

The cryptic in part 3 can be solved normally. The gimmicks are that words extend outside the grid (without letting you know by their enumeration) and that each clue has a word that must be "beheaded" before entry. Reading the letters extending outside gives you OVERSIZE.

The rebus words in part 6 can be identified. We don't have the pluses or minuses, but there's a unique way to combine everything so the subtracted words are substrings of the added words. The remaining letters spell EGOTISTICAL.

The "heads" of the beheaded words from part 3 spell "opposite of pro". Part 7 seems to have trigrams (three-letter sequences) taken from other parts of the puzzle, and there's a piece mentioned in part 2. This means the word must be of the form [???][CON][???][???] or [???][???][CON][???], with the bracketed parts being wordlike. The only thematic answer here is DISCONTENTED.

At this point a solver would realize that the seven parts are themed around the 7 Deadly Sins, and the answers describe someone who overindulges in that puzzle's sin. The meta explanation mentions two different orderings, and it seems that the answer lengths increase by 1 as you go down from part 1 to part 7. With these heavy constraints and a bit of additional info from the descriptions, we can now figure out the other answers.

Part 1 has "metal in it"; the only word meaning "overindulging in greed" with a metal inside is STINGY.
Part 2 can't be figured out on its own: it can only be fully backsolved from the meta answer.
Part 4 has a supposed typo, and the only synonym of "angry" that has an A after an R (where the A could plausibly be typoed to an I) is IRRITABLE.
Part 5 mentions "inserting into a woman" and is pretty clearly the lust puzzle, so the answer LASCIVIOUS fits (having "LASS" around the outside).

The first letters of the answers spell S?OILED, so the answer is SPOILED.
