After solving the "Hard" puzzle... the last two compound words are a REAL STRETCH. The last word in particular doesn't show up in any dictionary I have as a single compound word. Closest I could find is a hyphenated word. On top of that it seems like a really outdated word. Like "Shopping Buggy" or "Record Album"

I'm still stuck on this. The fact that it isn't a true compound word makes it difficult to find.

[edit] nm, I had stopped at the next to last line and so was using the wrong first word.

On the last step of the hard puzzle and I got no 'not really a compound word' to fit in the context of the slat given...

Perhaps I need to take a break!
-B

Same here, got to the end word, but what is it? And does it start with b, s, or g?

Should we the puzzle maker? Or give mercy because they sent something in?

The hard salt does nothing for me...
