Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake Hints

Solving the Tombstone Puzzle (Seniors)

  • 1 of 8: First of all, block 1 rotates the most blocks, perhaps you can avoid it?  Don't rotate block 1 if you can help it.
  • 2 of 8: So, it spells "WALDO" now.  Try to get the "B" in "BALDO" first.  What block affects the "B", or block 1?
  • 3 of 8: That would be block 2.  So, rotate block 2 twice to get a "B" in block 1.
  • 4 of 8: So, it spells "BUNDO" now.  Try to get the "A" and the "L" in "BALDO" next.  What block affects the "A" and the "L", or blocks 2 and 3?
  • 5 of 8: That would be block 3 and block 5.  Avoid block 5 because that block is already set to an "O" correctly.  So, rotate block 3 twice to get an "A" and an "L" in blocks 2 and 3.
  • 6 of 8: So, it spells "BALPO" now.  Try to get the "D" in "BALDO" next.  What block affects the "D", or the block 4?
  • 7 of 8: That would be block 4; it affects only itself.  So, rotate block 4 twice to get an "L" in the block 4.
  • 8 of 8: That's it!  "BALDO"!  So, to summarize:

    1) Rotate block 2 twice.
    2) Rotate block 3 twice.
    3) Rotate block 4 twice.
