I’ll try to come up with another one for next week. I do have a Mensa page-a-day calendar… maybe I’ll rip them off.

probably the longest comment thread we’ve ever had. woo. puzzle day shall stay.

This puzzle is elegant. It’s very well thought-out, and you’ll be happy you finished it once you do.

Ok, a couple of quick notes. First of all, a tip–blow it up if you need, and also notice that there are both yellow and orange words (I found those looked similar). A hint: some of the rules for each color are based on that word as a whole, while others are encoded using alphabetical or numerical rules.

this may help without spoiling:

it isn’t DELLAPA
it’s DEILAPA
the first “L” is an “I”
let me know if you want another hint.
I had to blow the image up to see that

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…..

ive spent way too much time on this the last couple of days. i still cant figure the purple words out. From what i have come up with the sentences dont make sense. Even knowing some of the rules i cant figure out the actual word (for example the blue word “dellapa” in the second sentence) I think i understand the rule but i cant come up with a valid word.Feathers? what the hell?

i want hints before answers.
