I didn't. I've never attempted either part of it, indeed I don't think I even knew there was an ancillary puzzle until I copied-and-pasted the entire post into DeepSeek and saw its response.
I think I played Scrabble once, several decades ago, but not any other puzzle or game that I can remember. Generally I don't like doing anything that I'm not good at, and my brain simply isn't wired to solve puzzles or play games!
