The Big Reveal (Riddle Part 3)

by _refugee_

OK everyone. So, LIL has proven to be the most effective guesser in this little game.

1) The letters do combine to say "VALENTINE." Sorry I wasn't more elaborate, humanodon. You 9 are my Hubski valentines. Aww. Smoochies.

2) The incorrect assumption in the last post:

Here they are in order, though Ns and Es are of course interchangeable.

Wrong-o, my loves. The letters were cut out of their associated paper in a pattern, which means the Ns and Es, not falling in the same spot in the word, were not interchangeable.

  V ad 
  A stripes 
  L maps 
  E music 
  N clovers 
  T ad 
  I stripes 
  N maps
  E - we can deduce aesthetixk's e was also on music paper. So sure, the E's were interchangeable. However, the point is that there was a pattern.

3) LIL is right again. I tried to send people a letter that corresponded with their name. With limited letters I couldn't always send someone the first letter of their first name, so again you all are right, codingvagrant's V came from Vagrant.

I am glad you all had fun. Thank you for being my valentines.
