How to Solve Phase 3 Compound Noun Puzzles to find Hidden GAs!
NOTE: make sure after clicking and dragging the pictures in each puzzle to match them... to CLICK the CHECK button to check your answers!
Load one of the Compound Word Puzzles and drag and match two pictures together to make a compound word that can then be found in a picture in either word bank. Example in Word puzzle 1 the first pic is of an iron with STEAM coming out of it... drag the picture of GIFTS or presents to match it to make the compound word STEAMGIFTS. Look for the answer in one of the 2 word banks to match. You see the picture of spacecat popping up-- this is the correct match. You then see the first character for discovering the first hidden GA is the number "1" as seen on the spacecat pic. The first 5 answers give you a 5 character code and the next 5 give another 5 character code. Thus each Compound Word Puzzle you solve will help you to find 2 hidden GAs.
More explanation on how to take the 5 character code and make it into a GA html address:
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/ZEsI7/squeezone is a GA address...
it can also be accessed with just https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/ZEsI7/
So when you find the first 5 matches in word bank... take the characters in order found on the 5 pics and put it in the address correctly and don't forget to put the last / symbol.
So if the 5 pics were pointing to the above GA the answer you would get would be:
ZEsI7
you must put in the area here where ????? are:

Note: There is also a metapuzzle to solve-- details are given once you get there.

Hm, got stuck with Puzzle 2's 2nd character code...
Got all the words, but nothing fits with the last character even after trying them all :P

The last pic matches something..
The second word that matches is one of the symbols on the suits in a deck of cards...

I know what the final word is and I think I know what it matches, but when using all the 5 characters to go to the GA page, it was sending me to SG's home page, so that code doesn't exist.
This made me go and recheck the other 4 characters, the only one that I wasn't 100% sure was the 2nd character due to the 1st picture of it, since it can kinda be two things and the 2nd picture can also be two things and both had words to it. I tried the 2nd option and I got it.
If there is any spoiler in my comments, let me know to edit it.

Is puzzle 3 part a ok? I'm sure I did it, but I have a wrong code, any help? :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you ever figure this out? Because I'm stuck on puzzle 3 as well, even though everything until now has worked. My "check" works on the puzzle page, but when I translate them into letters with the word banks, I can't find the giveaway. I tried a number of different variations (capitalization, 1 l I -type things, etc.), but I can't find the first giveaway link. Actually I did get the second one, so at least that part works okay

I can't figure out the cases of the 4th (second) one, and I'm not even sure if I have the right letters...

I don't get the 2nd 5 character of Word-Puzzle 1 working. Did you make a mistake in them(false lower/uppercase)? The letters given from the pictures of the combined words don't give a valid adress.
Comment has been collapsed.
All lowercase except for last letter..
No numbers
Comment has been collapsed.
What? But I got a number from the picture??? Or is the 4th picture not the same for the word solved???

Word puzzle 1 - 2nd 5 character is GA2
Word puzzle 2 - GA 4 is lower, upper, upper, number, upper
Comment has been collapsed.
I've got everything except for 2b (the 4th GA)
I can't seem to understand what the first word of this is, but the only picture I haven't used is wrong
I get UlUnU is that correct?
