Nancy Drew: Danger By Design Hints

1 of 7: Zu the catacombs expert agrees to help you in return for a note from JJ.
2 of 7: This is not going to be easy. As paranoid as JJ is, she refuses to put her name down on paper. In fact, you can't get her to write anything at all --
3 of 7: -- except when you play Hangman, when she writes down every letter you guess.
4 of 7: And notice something weird about the message Zu wants her to write: it consists of twelve letters, with no repeats.

6 of 7: ZU MY LOVE JING
7 of 7: When you get to the end of the message, Nancy will concede the game and take the page -- and you've got your note!
