Daily Puzzle #022 - 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: Drink made when SILK replaces seconds (S) with mass (M) - MILK

In this puzzle, we have four Banish spells, which means we will only keep one letter from DAIRY to use in MILK. Since they share an I, we will keep that letter and Banish the D, A, R, and Y.

The letter spells we have left are one Summon spell, two Echo spells, and two Possess spells. We still need the M, L, and K. Since K-L-M are all together in the alphabet, we can Summon one letter, Echo it, and use Possess to change it into what we need. (There are several ways this can be done and still be correct).

Since L can change to either K or M, let’s Summon an L (IL), then use Echo on it (ILL), then use Possess to change the second L into a K (ILK).

Then, we can use Echo on the L again (ILLK) and use the last Possess spell to change the second L into an M (ILMK). 

For movement, we have one Teleport spell. Note: In order to use the Teleport spell, the letter has to move at least 2 positions. This is why we changed the second L to M instead of the first one. Use the Teleport spell to move the M to the beginning of the word, and you have MILK.
