Are you guys significantly far enough along to assume that each of the 9 squares does NOT include a "key word" as all the other puzzles had ? Rather, this is one large "spider", beginning with Meddle With Me ?

Square # 6 has given me this indication.

I can't confirm that yet. So far there areas on section 2 and 4 that do not link back to anywhere on 5.
Oh and the minimap seems to be very accurate as far as illustrating how the complete grid will look.

[RBS]

I was about to say the minimap seems to depict the finished puzzle and they all have a yellow box (well not sure about area 1 cause I can't see it but the other 8 all do)

[donaud]

I have 2 and 5 linked.

Those are just clues (18 in all) to the theme of the puzzle, as I understand it.

The "key words" have always been in the middle of each square... and now that I see you have just filled in a ton more on square 6, how can this be ?

[RBS]

you have 66 > route > ? For the ? its something made from trees and it will explode into 13 boxes!

[donaud]

good deduction that i don't have that box

...and still don't !!

[billesan]

@donaud

yes, some of 2 links to 5 - same with 4 to 5.
But there are areas/chains in either that are unlinked for me so far.

[donaud]

Mine is probably a moot point, but look at 6... and if you've played these before, HOW can a Key Word fit in there (in the center), and not tie to the words we already have ?

[billesan]

"8" in section 6 is linked to section 5 for me now.
"9" seems to go via section 3 and section 2, before ending in section 5

Btw, I just discovered that the game adds plural s to the answers, if you guess a word but use singular instead of plural... kinda neat actually

[RBS]

I just enlarged it and the key word in area 6 will appear when we get the second word to the right of

p***** (which came off lead)

[billesan]

I'm not sure donaud meant the yellow words, but if he did, I have the one in section 8 already

[RBS]

I have a yellow box in 8 as well, not answered.
