Daily Puzzle #021 - Solution

Keep in mind that many puzzles have more than one correct solution.

Spells can ultimately be used in a different order and get the same result.

As long as your solution follows the spell rules, uses all of the given spells, and creates the correct ending word, your solution is correct even if it doesn’t match the printed solution exactly.

End word: InterCOM PUT ERror hides a machine - COMPUTER

We have three Banish spells in this puzzle, so let’s compare the words to see which letters to remove

KEYBOARD

COMPUTER

The words have the letters E, O, and R in common. We can use two of our Possess spells to change the K to M (K to L and L to M), and one Possess spell to change the D to C. This means we should Banish the Y, B, and A. 

After using the Banish spells and the three mentioned Possess spells, we are left with MEORC

We still need P, U, and T, and our other letter spells are two Summon spells, one Echo spell, and one Possess spell.

First, Summon the P (MEORCP). Since T and U are next to each other in the alphabet, we can use the other Summon spell on the U (MEORCPU), Echo the U (MEORCPUU), then use Possess to change the second U into a T (MEORCPUT)

Now that we have all of the letters, we look at our movement spells: one Mirror spell and two Teleport spells.

Use one Teleport spell to move the E to the end (MORCPUTE). Then use the other Teleport spell to move the R to the end (MOCPUTER). Finally, use the Mirror spell to reverse the first three letters (MOC), to get COMPUTER.
