[QUOTE="ghrezdd, post: 1768703, member: 4616"] Here are my 2 cents: the key is in the last line "Seventeen removed and the hammer fall reveals the mystery" "Seventeen removed... " probably refers to the 17 letters clustered at the top - probably assuming they mean the starting letters of words in the word hunt. "...and the hammer fall reveals the mystery" what i think this refers to is that the periods in the letter matrix are place holders for letters to help complete the letter matrix. I suspect that the last half of the riddle some how indicates which 7 letters to use and what order are they placed. But I am not sure how. "reveals" and "mystery" both have seven letters, but I am not sure how "the hammer fall" will help. A synonym for the sound a hammer makes on an anvil perhaps. Thats all I got. [/QUOTE]
