Reading the letters in order within each block gives the phrase, "connect the ots."
You'll find a collection of "ot"s in the paper.
There are 10 places "ot" appears in the paper, specifically within the Dear Hincksy section.
Each instance of a word containing "ot" is close to a number or something alluding to a number.
1 & 11: Merlot
2: Plot
3: Forgot
4: Afoot
5: Not
6: Not
7: Loot
8: Got
9: Not
10: Spot
Draw lines connecting these "ot"s in numerical order.
The shape the "ot"s form is a star. Holding the paper up to light will aid in this next step.
Indentify which five pictures the star points are touching.
The five pictues the star points touch have these labels:
Purple!
Material!
Result!
Location!
Smaller than a city!
Match the five pictures to the five gray spaces in the weather section.
By pairing each picture with a number, you'll be able to make five compound words.
Purple: grapevine
Material: woodwind
Result: deadline
Location: parkway
Smaller than a city: township
