Word number ten unlocks this one. Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear. May not work with your cell.

Very interesting. The last word is the key, and the double letter in the first word.

Last word, after correctly assuming the double letter in the first word.

Author’s first name isn’t too difficult to guess at a glance; then an educated guess of the first word and the rest was fairly straightforward.

10 min. Somehow tripped over the 4th word and that kind of gave a base to return to.

Yeah, that was kind of hard. I finally got lucky on the first word, and that started me off on the right track at last.

Definitely tricky. Figured the first name of author and then stumbled in to the rest
