Argh! I crossed out the wrong second "the", which messed up the second step. I was still able to tease out what I needed for the answer, but it didn't make sense until I saw the solution text.
so confused, i feel like I am super close, but I can't pull out the correct word. All I end up with is "e zealn" and I am kind of stuck. Any salt from here?
And [9] I did that too...something about things being connected seemed to make sense. That's my only complaint about this puzzle, otherwise it was pretty neat.

I didn't pay close enough attention, and got stuck on "Aotearoa"

[1] Yeah, you can say that again. I didn't figure it out the way the puzzle said, I read "between the lines" and figured it out.

Interesting one! I still don't really understand what to take away but I noticed four similar words and used that with what I knew to get the answer.
....confused but happy......Fun puzzle !
(oh now I understand what to eliminate, but I didn't even after solving)
Very nicely done!

I too didn't solve it as cleanly as you had intended, but still got to where I needed to go ... Good one!!

[12] you've got it, you just dropped the wrong letters.

[12] I'm stuck right there with you.
[14] I'm glad to hear I'm close, but I have no clue what letters to drop.

[15] and [12] you don't drop them you take them.
And [9] I did that too...something about things being connected seemed to make sense. That's my only complaint about this puzzle, otherwise it was pretty neat.
