Cluesheet
Teams should notice that the colors on the individual clues they've already solved (yellow and blue) match up with the colors on the cluesheet, if you assume a green square represents the combination of yellow and blue. Each phrase on the cluesheet refers to a combintion of two individual clues (one red, one yellow) where overlapping squares must match between the two. Note that the pattern of gaps in the cluesheet may not match the pattern of gaps on the clues, this is expected. Teams should be able to combine words to come up with a new word that matches each given definition:
Clue | Blue Word |
The abyss between mocker, and mockee | sarcasm |
Go on a diet | abdicate |
Sadistic fun | abuse |
Grammar Nazi | apostrophe |
The Pope's secret assassins | nun |
Clueless moron | oblivious |
Broccoli's New Testament | vegetable |
Facebook fame | net |
That stowaway pea in your mashed potatoes | food |
The fake grass in Easter baskets | east |
Idiot shield | bozo |
Chemical released during retail therapy | spend |
Using the number after each word to index into that word, the phrase
"SINFULLY GOOD"
is revealed.
Solution
That phrase is a clue for the word formed by the combination of the two remaining unused words from the first half of the puzzle: sacrilegious and delicious.
Combining them gives the answer: sacrelicious.
