Is this the one? If so, you need to form two three-letter words in the given blanks. Each word refers to a component of the image, and each letter of the word must be chosen from the list of letters growing out of the vine immediately above the letter-blank. The word on the left is easy: who guards the wall? The word on the right is more difficult, because it is a synonym. Ask yourself, who chooses the letters? > and "The High Priestess". One thing you might not realize about the High Priestess is that you can hit the incorrect numbers ... they just won't vanish. Therefore, if you hit the mouse in the same place a gadzillion times, you'll eventually click on each # in the proper order. Notice, also, that when you click the mouse the screen freezes for a moment, making it a bit easier to read. The next # you need to click is always on top of the other tiles, and moves a bit slower than them. > The unavailable (greyed out) puzzles are "The > Watchtower", "The Sentry", "The Boat", "Despair", and "The Dead Warrior." > Please help me, especially with "The Stone Wall", since I suspect that if I > solve it, I can solve the others.
