Inconsistencies of Character can lead to trouble

[dalby2020]

For what it's worth, most images contain one or more border characters that differ from others on the page. The masquerade solution involved border letters with spurs. I haven't figured how to use these, but I found the following in Fandango:

Image 2, page 5 > F or For
Image 3, page 7 > N of Down; D of Down
Image 4, page 11 > I of Hidden; F of Of; Red E of Measure
Image 5, page 15 > A of across
Image 6, page 17 > F's of Of and Four differ. Notice the F of Of lacks the spur on top and is right above a border marking that is also missing a spur.
Image 7, page 19 > Two styles of R; L of Reflects; E of Smile
Image 8, page 23 > W of Whistle; subtle difference in the two R's
Image 9, page 26 > W of Shadow; E of We; N's differ
Image 10, page 30 > no inconsistencies
Image 11, page 32 > N of Wind; E's of Rise and Speak; A of Speak; F's differ; K's differ
Image 12, page 34-35 > E of Leaps
Image 13, page 40 > F of Of; W's differ
Image 14, page 44-45 > K of Yakity; M's differ
Image 15, page 47 > Y's differ
Image 16, page 51 > no inconsistencies
Image 17, page 55 > A's on right differ from A's on left

Funny. When in doubt, eat waffles!

I have also noticed that there are 6 different versions of E throughout the book.

Version 1, first seen on the E's of Sceptre, is the most common, appearing on most pages and in most words with E in them.

The other 5 appear in limited instances. Three versions each appear only once:

Version 2. the second E of Measure on page 11

Version 3. the E in Smile on page 19

Version 4. the E of Leaps on page 35 - each of these is the only instance of that particular shading.

Version 5, seen on all of page 5, is also seen in Speak on page 32.

Finally, version 6 is seen on all of pages 15 & 17, the first E of Reflects on page 19, We on page 26, and Fire on page 32.

I may have made a mistake, but I think this is close. My eyes started crossing looking at all the variations of black and white on the letters. I know that the letter 'I' also has the black on one side or the other throughout the book, and you have pointed out the variations on each page.

So far, I haven't been able to make sense of it all, but it seems they went to a lot of trouble to make these letters different.

This is what’s so funny about Fandango. You find something you know if off or sticking out and you go down a rabbit hole and have no clue how to use the stuff you’ve found or whether it was just completely random in the first place.


Last night I went through every rhyme in the poem and jotted down all the words that clearly didn’t rhyme with the word it was supposed to. There ended up being about 1 or 2 times per chapter where the words clearly didn’t rhyme. I’m guessing it’s just because the author couldn’t find the right word but it’s also possible it’s a clue. Funny but frustrating.

Even after you find all the discrepancies you still have to think, okay now how does this form a clue. The first letter of every word, the last letter of every word, anagram the letters.

Two months and we’ll get to know the answers so that’s good. I have a weird feeling no one is even that close.

He's also included rhymes that differ from plural and singular.

biter - all nighters
traps - lap
brisker - whiskers
goons - moon
maws - paw
scones - known
end - depends
leave - heaves
hearts - start

Just to give some examples.

Funny you should mention the rabbit hole...of course we have the Maquerade hare seen on page 5 and page 35 along with the Cmasquerade hint. We also have, in the very first lines, "The Sea-King Neptune" ="seeking?" and then, "Fandango sets off on a hair-raising adventure" = "a hare-raising adventure?"

This is just for kicks - but FIND A NEW WAFFLE MAKER could be IHOP 🐰.

I don’t really think that’s anything I just thought it was funny 😁
