[img align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/Caretaker.png[/img]Good morning, children! I've got another new puzzle for you today. This one is on the fairly easy side, since I know some of you are on holiday this weekend!
This week we have a Fill in the Blank puzzle. Below are five words, each with letters missing! Your task is to figure out what the words are. Once you find all of the words, the letters that were missing can then be unscrambled to find the mystery phrase! For instance:
If the word was
GRY _ _ IN _ OR It would be Gryffindor, which means you would then use F F and D as part of the letters for the phrase.
This week all of the answers are magical objects. The phrase is not a magical object, however.
Each correct word will earn 2 points each, and successfully unscrambling the mystery phrase will earn you 5 points, for a total of 15 House Points towards the House Cup!
Please sMail all answers to Mary.
Good luck!
The Words:
S N I _ C _
P _ _ _ I _ VE
BR _ OMS _ _ _ K
C _ U _ DRON
FLO _ _ OWD _ R
The Mystery Phrase: [] [ _ _ ] [ ] [ _ ] [ _ _ _ _]
This challenge will end on Sunday, September 13 at 11:59PM.
Note: Some of the letters may be filtered by the chatspeak filter. "U" = you; "R" = are.
I don't know if it does it for everyone or just for people with the bad word filter on (since I'm a minimod, I have to have it on), but my filter is turning the "U" in the fourth word to "you" and the "R" in the fifth word to "are". Just letting everyone know that if that's the case for anyone else, to treat it like it's the letter and not the word.
Oh ok, I thought you were talking about the phrase or something XD
I see nothing for unscrambling the phrase but the other part is easy.

For the phrase potion, you use the letters that you filled in for the words! For instance:
If the word was
GRY _ _ IN _ OR It would be Gryffindor, which means you would then use F F and D as part of the letters for the phrase. I hope that helps!
thank you that does help. I'll get to work on it right away now.

IS the phrase like a common Harry Potter phrase?
This is quite difficult.
It is Harry Potter related, yes! I don't know if it's common, but it was an important phrase.

I've send in the answers to the puzzle, as I had no time or energy to really think about the phrase LOL

maybe next time you could put a few letters or so into the mystery phrase...or...something, please? I haven't a clue what that would be ;_;
The end phrase wasn't a giveaway but I do think it fell into place easily enough with a little effort with the letters. It looks like a considerable amount of people got it, so any kind of extreme difficulty is already ruled out. I'm curious to see if I solved it correctly.
I guess this should be locked after the last set of points are awarded since the deadline was last night.
Locking this, I'll come back to award the last points tonight. Sorry guys, had a huge migraine last night!
