Okay, I just stink at multi-word anagrams, but my Scrabble tiles are getting some serious use.  Looking for a nudge... Assuming the solution contains an acronym, which word should I treat as not being a real word? the middle one. But even then, it's not technically an acronym, right? More like a modified one? |

It might provide some guidance to know that
There's some punctuation that's not really possible to include when you're doing anagrams

This is my first time on C&C and I've spent a hours analyzing this one. Number of letters in the lines and how often they occur, number of dots, number of instances of symbols, location of dots under the letters, etc. I'm not just asking for help wily nilly but I really can't find the pattern. Does anyone have a starting point to help me out? Much appreciated!

Does anyone have a starting point to help me out? Much appreciated! This puzzle is similar to the ones in the first two volumes. Reading those threads might help. For now, ignore the dots under the letters- you don't need them until later. The number in the corner provides a good starting point. Initially, you're looking for phrases. And welcome! Find your way to the chat room, there's usually immediate help (and community) available there as well! |

Finally got this with a little nudge and help. And this advice is good for a lot of these puzzles. There are recurring themes. |

I am wondering if I have a wrong answer somewhere: I have:
EAUESLESANDSSSI
I understand There is an acronym in the middle, but I can't seem to find one that fits with the other letters and the hints given. Which is why I think I did something wrong. |

Oh, No, Third down is literature, dont think it has anything to do with your spoiler, but rather creatures of some kind i have not solved it overall yet either |

Yes, literature - of course. Sorry for any confusion I created. |
