It looks like this hint was probably more work to put together than the puzzle! Pretty much, yeah! LOL!

I'm curious about the method everyone used. I couldn't have done this without physically rearranging the pieces so I used photo editing software. I wrote the two solution possibilities on each plate, put each plate on a separate layer and then dragged them around.
I saw HORSE and ONLY A pretty early on but was pretty sure LOVE and BEAUTY were there. When I finally gave up on BEAUTY and saw NOVELTY instead things finally came together.
This puzzle was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be!

I listed them in a notebook and went through each combo, jotting down the ones that made words until something made sense. Saw 'horse' pretty quickly. I did have a career with horses so my mind always goes there first anyway. Usually just discount it as my own bias but this time it really helped out lol!
Really good idea to re-arrange in a photo editing software. I usually use GIMP for hunts - not sure why it didn't occur to me to use it here, too!

I used a method similar to Whispa, generating words and then trying to extend that into phrasing. That EAUT set really threw me for a while because I was forcing it to be BEAUTY. When I stopped trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, I was finally was able to see it for what it was- AUTOMOBILE. I saw HORSE early on to, but she got me on the dates for a while. LOL. I agree, while simple in concept, it was tougher than I thought it would be! Good idea on the photo editor though! Good luck everyone on the tribute hunts....very excited to see these roll out!!!

Used to be a paid exercise rider as well as a hand at a few different training barns over the years. Recently bought a fixer upper type farm and am working on starting up on my own. Nerve wracking!
