Quailman, the thing you're against is the thing that would help you. The words themselves are also invissed, in the first post

We're slowing making progress. And yes, Quailman, you can get all the information you need from the first post. The italicized words are gone from level one, and the level two words are invizzed. So, all you have to do is use your mouse creatively and you can make more progress.

That said, I don't think people have to invizz their guesses...

No ink, sorry. And for those thinking "paper" would work well as "paper jam", or with "pad" or "black", remember that paper was already used in Level One, so it's out...

Who can resist solving level 4 before level 2?


Minnie Mouse (Mickey's girl)
Minnie Driver (Appeared in Phantom of the Opera recently)
and google tells me there is indeed a Minnie Pearl. (Pearl Jam/black pearl) Seems to have a Cancer foundation named after her.
