Letters In Boxes #20
Double, double toil and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Letters In Boxes challenge the brave
To find the secret words you crave.
Nightmare nouns and vicious verbs,
And also some prepositions and adjectives and other stuff.
Three witches knew how to cook in rhyme,
But when you paint yourself into a corner trying to rhyme with really hard words, it all falls apart pretty quickly. I'm no Shakespeare or Poe, but... Oh, hold on.

I'm no Shakespeare or Poe, but this puzzle challenge contains some wicked words to worm through! Take a look at the starting puzzle below. Click on it to open up the image in a new window. When you think you've found the answer, hover up to the address bar and change the image's filename (in this case, "hallotwenty") to your answer, making sure your answer is all lowercase and without spaces, and that you stay in the same directory and keep the same filename. If you're right, you'll spirit away to the next puzzle. If you're wrong, you'll see the frightening sight of an error screen, but you can always run back to the last puzzle.
This batch of puzzles contains four puzzles to solve. On the fourth puzzle, you'll find the email address for sending your final answer. We'll hand out a prize to the first correct entry we receive, plus one additional randomly-selected correct entry. Please include your Casual Gameplay account display name with your entry. You must be at least 13 years of age to enter. Only one submission per participant, please. Offer void where prohibited. Your deadline for submitting your answers is Monday, October 31st (OOH, SPOOKY!) at 11:59 PM (GMT-5:00). Be sure to save some candy for later!
Update: Congratulations to the following winners! :D
Both winners were given a choice of prizes. Congratulations and thanks for playing with us! Look for another Letters in Boxes again soon!

ALL CANDY IS HALF OFF! Here are this week's answers:
Puzzle 1
To solve the first puzzle, you needed to study the map and note the quantities of candy given out at each house. The number given corresponded to the letter from each item's name for extraction. For example, in the first house, "1 marshmallow patty" meant you needed to take the first letter, M. "5 peanut butter cups" meant you needed to take the fifth letter, U, and so on. In the end, after making the rounds around the block, you could spell out MUSTACHES.
Puzzle 2
Puzzle 2 Answer
The second puzzle required you to follow the directions carefully to manipulate the given phrase, BLACKCAT, to your answer, BADLUCK.
Puzzle 3
Puzzle 3 Answer
To solve the ghost hunt in the third puzzle, you first needed to find the GHOST in the diagram. However, to find the answer, you needed to look at the letters surrounding that word within the grid. Starting to the right of the H and reading clockwise, you would find the next answer, EXTRATERRESTRIAL.
Puzzle 4
Puzzle 4 Answer
For the final puzzle, your goal was to find words that had the letters BOO in some order. The added letters, when read in order, spell out your final answer, STEALTH.
Winners will be announced soon!
