Daily Puzzle #036 - 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: LEARN wild (anagram of learn) with Good start (first letter of good) for one who casts - ANGLER

In this puzzle, we have one Banish spell and three Possess spells, so we will remove one letter from HOOK and change the other three letters. 

Start by using Banish to remove an O (HOK). Then we can use Possess to change the H to G (GOK), the O to N (GNK), and the K to L (GNL).

This leaves three Summon spells, one Teleport spell, and one Mirror spell.

We use the three Summon spells to summon the other three letters we need. First, summon the E (GNLE), then the R (GNLER), and finally the A (GNLERA). 

We notice that the GN at the beginning are backwards, so we will use the Mirror spell on them, but the Mirror spell reverses 3 or more letters. Use the Teleport spell to move the A between the N and L (GNALER), then use the Mirror spell to reverse the first three letters - GNA. This gives us our End word: ANGLER.
