What word opens the letter padlock?

Rooms & Exits Level 46 Walkthrough

medium

A manicured garden with a red-roofed gazebo, wicker patio furniture, and a stone fire pit — slash through obstacles with a folding knife, decode a worn paper clue, and rotate the letter columns on a padlock to spell the right word and unlock the garden gate.

Board Notes

Layout: Landscaped yard with a red-roofed wooden shed and a matching gazebo connected by stone pathways across green lawn. Wicker furniture with blue cushions sits on a raised wooden deck under a sun umbrella. A stone fire pit or birdbath occupies the center of the lawn. Stacked firewood logs lean against the shed. Topiary bushes, cypress trees, and climbing vines line the property's stone boundary wall.
Goal: Find the knife and paper clue, decode the letter sequence, and enter it on the rotating-letter padlock to unlock the gate and escape the garden.

Quick Tips for Rooms & Exits Level 46 (spoiler-free)

The padlock columns scroll through the alphabet — the solution word is not necessarily K-X-O-A.
Lift every wicker cushion; items are tucked underneath the blue padding.
If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.

How to Solve Rooms & Exits Level 46 — Full Solution

Search the wicker furniture on the deck — lift blue cushions to find hidden items. Check the woodpile against the shed for a concealed clue or tool.
Enter the shed or gazebo to find the knife and the stove-top burners. Examine the burner pattern or markings for a positional clue.
Collect the weathered paper. Open Inventory and use Examine to read it clearly — it contains the letter sequence for the padlock.
Rotate each column on the letter padlock to spell the decoded word. Open the lock, retrieve the final item, and exit through the garden gate.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Leaving the padlock letters at K, X, O, A and trying to make that sequence work — scroll each column to find the correct letters.
Not using Examine on the worn paper — it may look blank at first but reveals text when inspected in Inventory.
