I received a question about the first line. The lines for letters are correct, but there is a stray mark that shouldn't be there. So it should read:

__ __   __ __   __ __ __ __

Just my bad typing!

Thanks!

I have received a few questions about the spaces provided for letters. I rechecked them all, and they are all correct. If the word you have does not fit, it is not the right word.

Good luck!

I was a little behind in checking my messages, but today, I received two correct answers!

Congratulations to happyhunting for being the first to submit the correct answer, and to mikec for coming in a close second.

I will be posting the solution and prize for this hunt a little later.

Again, congratulations to the winners and thank you all for playing.

Now it's time to start preparing for the Annual Masquerade Tribute Hunt for Charity!

MEAL or WINE? I guess either could be appropriate 😂

Oops!  That was what was there before I changed it to WINE!! I'll fix it!

I was completely fooled by this one. Typically FHH's puzzles have multiple layers.
So even though I had all the 12 words (except last one; I used WINE as mikec),
I tried to make a sentence or phrase or even a name i.e. Christopher Columbus utilizing the (#) again unsuccessfully.
Congrats to winners.

You were right with WINE - I fixed the mistake on my posted solution. It had been MEAL but I changed the hunt and forgot to change the answer!   

Thanks for playing!
