The number "7" was our theme! Highlighted letters hinted to the content of the following row, either directly, or not-so-obviously:
Row 1: sunday... monday... tuesDay... WednesdAy... thuRsday... Friday... Saturday (DWARFS)
Row 2: Bashful... happY... Grumpy... doC... sleEpy... dopEy... SneeZy ("Big Seas")
Row 3: sOutherN ocEan... north atLantic ocEan... north paciFic ocean... souTh pacific ocean... inDian ocean... south atlantic ocEan... aRctic ocean (ONE LEFT, DER! Only 1 of the 7 Ancient WonDERS still stands, of course!)
Row 4: great pyramiD of gIza... temple of artemis at ePhesus... statue of zeus at olymPIa... haNGing gardens of babylon... colossus of rhoDes... mausOleum at halicarnassus... lighThouSe of Alexandria (DIPPING DOTS, or the stars forming the Big Dipper constellation.)
Row 5: aLkaid... Mizar... alioTh... megrEz... pheCda... merAk... duBhe (Which rearranged as instructed to "BC METAL", a reference to the 7 metals of antiquity, which were the only metallic elements that humans identified and utilized prior to the medieval period.)
Row 6: This is where it started getting a little trickier! Putting the metals in order by atomic number, and then performing the "letter calculation" as given starting with each metal's periodic table symbol (e.g., for iron: F (6) + E (5) - H (8) = C (3); for copper: C (3) + U (21) - P (16) = H (8)) ultimately yielded CHAKRAS, of which there are, you guessed it, seven!
Row 7: Now don't be mad at Nails, but I gave you the rainbow as both confirmation (of the Chakras) and deception (the colors were given in rainbow order, but the Chakras had been scrambled). Indeed, this puzzle would've been solved in the very early days without the scramble. I admittedly didn't run every permutation, but if you understood the mechanism (i.e., the same that we used in row 1), there were only so many viable possibilities. The only one (far as I know) that made any sense was MILLS SIN. Of course, there are 7 deadly sins, and the quite famous movie "Se7en" stars Brad Pitt as Detective MILLS... [SPOILER ALERT but come on it's a 30+ year old movie!) who commits the final sinful act of the movie, demonstrating WRATH - which was the correct solve for this hunt!
Congrats to those who stuck it out to the last minute and solved this tricky one!
