Hopefully my hints help with those 2. If not, posters let me know. You only have a few hours to solve before I do.

Can I just double check what we think we already know because I'm confused (and slightly sleep deprived now) are the capitalised letters below the ones we are looking for, or am I VERY confused about how this puzzle works?

1. wAsp
2. lArge
3.
4.
5. poAcher

And is 3. scenic?

You are correct. The highlighted letters spell the movie title.

I'll make a couple guesses

3. Amazon
4. Adaptation

AMAZON is correct. Just 1 more to go :)

1. Wasp (A)
2. Large (A)
3. Documentary D, C, N
4. Amazon (O, N)
5. Poacher (A)

If documentary is correct then I think the answer is Anaconda.

Documentary was my first guess too but thought it was 1 too many letters... Poor reading skills apparently

Very good! You correctly guessed the puzzle as well as clue 3.

Since you're all probably wondering, Python is the language :p

MarvHarvey 02-13-2018 08:49 PM
Sammy I think you might be right. And I think we (I) have been going for 10-letter words for a week or so but DOCUMENTARY looks good - and it yields a movie.

EDIT: yes, you got it!

(Puzzle ends today so my "dues" for joining end today! Yippee!)

AliceP1985 02-13-2018 08:54 PM
Well, I was barking up all the wrong trees there language = python. I was bouncing aroung thinking the final answer was Caligula (whose father was named Germanicus). I need sleep. Very good puzzle though.

I know we got a few more players here right at the end, but I will be talking a break from this thread for a while. I may or may not revive it in the future if there is enough interest.

It's been great fun, thanks for playing everyone!

Honestly, I'll be a bit sad to see this end, but I can believe it's been an immense amount of effort and it did somewhat stall near the end. I fully intended to join more, but never really had any sparks of inspiration, though I thoroughly enjoyed watching the workings out of those involved, some hugely inspired guesses and the varied knowledge bases of the contestants made for great entertainment.

Tl;Dr - thank you, sciencegal, for a brilliant way to kill time.
