Hello! It is not March, but the excellent EnigMarch folks occasionally send out a prompt word nonetheless. Today's prompt word is LETTER, in honor of International Literacy Day. That tells me it's a good time to make a puzzle.
Here we have six five-letter words, written up-down: sulks, Slemp, Nothe, oaten, bread, strut. But we don't have the middle letters right. We guessed they were L-E-T-T-E-R. But it turns out that's wrong. We tried pointing out that Slemp is the person's name behind the Slemp Foundation; and that Nothe is a fine placename in parts of England. But we're looking for different words; and none of their middle-letters are L, E, T, or R.
| S | S | N | O | B | S |
| U | L | O | A | R | T |
| L | E | T | T | E | R |
| K | M | H | E | A | U |
| S | P | E | N | D | T |
Once you've filled in the correct middle-letters, you'll see something that might let you know that it's time to do something. (make a puzzle or otherwise)
