solved the Crostic, but even after reading this thread I don't know where or how to find the four letters that are needed to open this lock. I don't see a pattern with the "goat' symbols over the numbers in the clues. Can I have a nudge please. thanks After looking at the previous hints I thought maybe the placement of the goats would be in some kind of pattern - I tried making them into Morse code, etc. Turns out all I needed to do was fill in the blanks!

The first letter of each clue gives you the person who said it. The last letter in each gives you something else.

Makes me wonder if the clue that I used to get the answer is intended for something else. I get the feeling your find was just an Easter Egg though. Still pretty funny after the fact.

Interesting, Centaur -- I used the method Akanthos used. I'm wondering what clue you used to get this answer!

This was a one of those puzzles where I knew the answer had to be right in front of me but couldn't see it -- even after all the comments posted above. And as usual I started overthinking. Then, as so often happens, I woke up early this morning and an idea immediately formed in my mind -- I didn't try THAT yet. Yup, it was there all along. And of course in hindsight all your nudges now make perfect sense. I hate looking for hints but not too proud to do so. I truly appreciate this forum especially when the hints are subtle. Thanks everyone! Now on to finish shuffling the cabinet.

Hello all, I'm having issues with the TV host Uncle (maybe it wasn't in the UK?) and the Duck Tales chopper. Any pointers would be greatly received

Any pointers would be greatly received Alternatively to K8's suggestion, part of the fun of Crostics is that you can work bottom to top or top to bottom. Maybe you can fill in some other words up top that would give some clues to the things you are missing

I've got the last three letters, but I can't really tell what the first letter is supposed to be...

Jason and his men used this ship to retrieve a sheep coat. Okay, that's where I was going with it, just based on the other letters. Thank you for the confirmation!
