Find the members of a hidden category by linking letters. Each letter on both sides of the arrows is used at least once. Most answers are single words, but some may be hyphenated or two-word answers. As you solve, you may find words that don't fit the category - these should be discarded.

Start with a letter on the left of an arrow and link it to one of the letters to the right of the same arrow. Find that second letter on the left and link it to a letter on its right. Continue the process until an answer is formed.

Please answer an entire category.

Question for you Pandora...

Do you create the members of a hidden category by using/combining letters from parts 1, 2, and 3 together?

Or are categories within 1, 2, and 3 solved separatly?

The three are all separate (spirited) categories.

All three categories can be described as spirits.

Here's a possible answer under #1...

Ghoul

start with the letter G, take the H from there, go to the letter H, take the O etc.

Hope this helps

I know you like this puzzle, Redz, and you're right - ghoul is one of the solves. The first category is spooky spirits.



Hope this helps! Feel free to post partial solves.

1. Ghost Ghoul Bat

Spectre Banshee Soul Wraith Poltergeist Phantom Bogeyman

I've got most of 3 but can't find where I used a letter I maybe shouldn't?? Anyone want to jump in and help me finish it?
WHISKEY, GROG, BOOZE, LIQUOR, FIREWATER, WINE

Good job, soot. You've got nine of the ten. Bogeyman doesn't work with the letters given but bogey alone does. There's one left and it starts with an S.

Your list is good so far, Jimbo. The remaining four words start with B, H, M, and R.

Add-ons for #3: Beer, Hooch, Moonshine, Rotgut

Excellent work!

#1 spook

#2 - pluck, moxie, nerve

Yes, Redz! #1 is now finished off. "Nerve" has to be "verve" to use up the E after the V.

#2
passion, elan, sparkle

You're doing it, Redz! Here are the first-letter hints for the last three words if you're interested:

I'll try...
vanity
luck
animation

Animation...hit! New hint: LI..., VI...
