Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Seven scrolling lyric rows cover two repeated HOW I WISH phrases, HERE. WE'RE JUST, TWO LOST SOULS, SWIMMING IN A, an eight-cell masked word, and YEAR AFTER YEAR. Seed letters, several locked cells, three mistake circles, a hammer, and a wand are visible.
- Goal
- Complete the entire lyric through YEAR AFTER YEAR. The completion card attributes it to Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here.
- Opening
- Use 19 = H, 16 = O, 18 = W, 10 = I, and 11 = S to establish the first HOW I WISH, then manually repeat those mappings in the second occurrence.
- Danger Zone
- HERE. and WE'RE use similar letters around different punctuation, and the lower eight-cell word has no visible cipher numbers. The video consumes two mistakes; verify the sentence break and enter the masked word only as FISHBOWL.
- Mechanics
- A scrolling Lyric Line with a repeated phrase, several locked cells, a fully masked eight-letter word, manual per-occurrence entry, two recorded mistakes, and no helper use.
