Wow! This was a difficult one for me, but I finally got it! I tried three different approaches before I found one that worked. Good one!

good one, I had to manually put letters into columns one word at a time to resolve. Did anyody find a less labor intensive way to resolve this one?
I thought that would be even more complicated than it was until I realized there were 24 different letters all together so no letter was repeated on any block or between blocks. Once I figured that out I figured out I could switch letters around in each word to put the same letter from different words in the same column. Once that's done it's solved!
I love these puzzles.
good one!! almost used all my ink figuring that one out...
Yeah so I'm a nerd. I busted open the good ol' Excel worksheet to get this one done without writer's cramp. Great puzzle tho.
huh?
