No, I'm still at a loss. Working with another member, and we have a clue, but nowhere near an answer... PM sent.

would using the circles in the crossword to determine letters in the word search but a productive path to follow?
Or has that been tried and failed to achieve a result?

Or has that been tried and failed to achieve a result? That's a current theory, worth exploring. We just don't know yet.

You are my hero today.  lol Havers. This puzzle hasn't been solved yet. Anything is a good idea worth exploring, and if you're exploring it I can explore something else.

I completely forgot about the circled letters in the crossword puzzle! I unscrambled them and I got SECRET HAND SHAKERS

I got for the first half either: The darkness has or Has the darkness and for the second half: Fallen and a bunch of nonsense letters so far.
I think it is The darkness has fallen...... Ignore this post. It's wrong.

I tried this and I came up with the letters : AHFILLENTHLOUITBN Ran those through an online anagramer and they don't all get used but one thing did stand out to me when I did it. You can find the letters for TINFOIL HAT in there. Leaving HLENLUB I've got nothing after that.

Also, another stupid thought I had a few days earlier... The instructions say to find the words in the list on the right. There are two lists. One starts with AIDS, the other starts with NAU. Anyone else go down the path of only finding half of the words in the puzzle and then look at what was left? Nothing jumped out at me....

Finding Tinfoil hat in the wordsearch+crossword circles can't be a coincidence. That has to be going in the right direction. But Im not there yet. With the remaining letters we can make Hell Bun ?

here is my thoughts (and my smarter spouse's!) The word clues are all different types of conspiracies and the circled letters spell out tinfoil hat. while i don't know what to do about the left over letters, i did check out the instructions for the tinfoil hat. The instructions specifically call it an ALUMINIUM hat. i don't think that is a good road to head down, since i don't think you will need the curios to solve the puzzle. What i do think is this: the six letter word that we need is a conspiracy that is not listed in the clues. similar to the way the word stack was solved. I am working my way (hour by hour) through the various ways to allude to the 'faked' moon landing.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the intersecting letters spell ROSS RI AREA backwards. Is this some line of search that should be explored? I have been googling to no avail...
