NFS Release Contest - New hints

Post by Bojan »

If you thought the puzzle is too hard to solve, here are some hints to get you back in the game:

1. None of the answer words is a car.

2. There are 19 cars in the puzzle and they are written in 4 directions:
* left to right
* right to left
* up to down
* down to up
The cars can also intersect in the puzzle: Like the 'Koenigsegg' in the first row and the 'Gallardo' which goes down from the last g in 'Koenigsegg'.

So obviously the words are hidden in the letters that are not part of any car.

@Bojan: you want to say that hidden words are in remaining letters?

you find the 19 car names (they're easy to find) and the letters which remain make 3 words that are correct answers!

You had to find 19 cars, and then use the remaining letters to make 3 words...

By the way, I got it...
