Agreed. I'm a total n00b, and have one correct. I can't even look at the word stack any more I'm co flummoxed.... But everything I've tried UP TO AND INCLUDING a search for Bernard has given me the red ring of death. That and the short and sweet.... Curse-worthy. I've never seen colons under letters much less a ring of six...Google was not my friend this week. Any assistance given now, will be returned three-fold when I get the swing of things. Much appreciation in advance

😂 I've been on my own with this for a week. Surprisingly with the left side of my hair intact. AND one lock open. Should I go to that page and enter solved?

OK, so I'm still lost... Are we supposed to connect the dots or something between CIA, FBI, JFK, NAU, NSA, NWO, RFID, CERN, and UFOs? Those are all the initials... Or are we just supposed to use some of these? Also, any help on the daytime one would also be appreciated.

Or are we just supposed to use some of these? Also, any help on the daytime one would also be appreciated. (Please let me not say this wrong.) The word search night time lock was QUITE the puzzle. On Page 8 of this thread, Todd has an excellent summary of hints to help you along. If you need further help, which would be entirely possible feel free to ask. While we don't generally like to give answers away, since it can spoil the mystery, no one will leave you without assistance. Everyone is willing to help you reach the answer.

Well I got the answer to the wordsearch night puzzle thanks to the hints stellar and chart by working my way through the list but this was because I got stuck at this point - so I'd like to know why the start point gives the end result, if someone could hint as to which bit of this analysis is flawed, I'll work at it again: Root out - means eliminate, get rid of Harold Wilson, Menaker, Abel, Boyce - all alleged or real spies for the KGB Hark that initialism is here - means looking for the letters K, G and B rather than S P I E and S (again) or S P and Y? And these letters K, G, B I do something with on the wordsearch, but if I highlight them it just looks like a big bag of nothing

It sounds like you're following everything. Consider that root out means find and not eliminate. I had a few issues with placement, a couple missing, and one extra thing but once you take a step or two back, it is a fair approximation given the limitations of the medium.

Were you expecting the same number for each?

No. I was simply referring to the way the positions of the letters didn't quite match up with the objects they represent.

I am very lost at this puzzle. I have solved the word search and looked through all of the posts in here but: Where did you get the KGB reference? Do I have to write down all of the letters that aren't used?
Do I have to find all supposed KGB spies to find the answer?
Any reply or PM in the right direction would be greatly apprectiated.
