DavidW says, "I think the curse word has come and gone, with what the Queen of Vampires called us."
Lancelot says, "; ; so the A is not part of it"
keltena says, "It has all but one of BADGE (but none of them in those locations), and only two letters of CAGED (but both in the correct places)"
gadzoks says, "Ah. Blink and you miss it sorta thing."
keltena says, "Seems like the final D is PROBABLY correct"
keltena says, "So it must have a B, in order to have four letters from BADGE but only two of CAGED, I think"
DavidW asks, "double E, maybe?"
DavidW asks, "EDGED?"

CF | > PLAY EBBED
CF |
CF | You play the melody "EBBED" upon the magic flute. The tiger sits up,
CF | stretches out its back—and turns into a rotten stump.
CF |
CF | The stump leaps onto the throne. "Marvelous!" he cries. "Come here, my
CF | wife. Come here, my little mushroom servant thing! Come here, little
CF | girl I've never seen before!"
CF |
CF | You all crowd in around the Marsh King as he settles into his seat.
CF | "What do you suppose all that was about?" he muses.
CF |
CF | "It was those strange leaves—I begged you not to eat them," says the
CF | Marsh Queen.
CF |
CF | "Those leaves were delicious! You don't know what you're talking
CF | about," the Marsh King grumbles, and the subject is dropped. "At any
CF | rate, I owe you a great debt of gratitude, little girl. My kingdom,
CF | such as it is, is at your disposal."
CF |
CF | "You are very kind," you tell him.
CF |
CF | > Lancelot says, "nice"
Lancelot says, "and indeed related to swampiness"
Lancelot says, "each time someone eats something..."
Jacqueline says, "Oh, nice."
keltena says, "...Hm. It's counting "four letters" in an interesting way--BADGE has EDB, but it's counting that as four because the full word has two Bs"
DavidW says, "Brittany said vegetables. Marsh King said leaves."
Lancelot says, "yeah I was wondering how double letters are counted"
gadzoks exclaims, "Leafy greens, clearly!"
Jacqueline says, "haha - stay away from strange leaves, people. No eat."
gadzoks exclaims, "I knew I was right never to eat my spinach!"
DavidW says, "hm. No fire."
Lancelot asks, "no burning swamp fas?"
Lancelot asks, "gas?"
DavidW says, "Not today."
keltena asks, "...or actually? BADGE has EBD (3 unique correct letters), while EBBED has the same 3 unique letters but two of them are used twice. How does BADGE get counted as "four correct letters", of all things??"
keltena asks, "Wouldn't you expect it to be either 3 or 5...?"
DavidW says, "The code might be slightly buggy."

CF | (Thank you for for playing this game. I wrote it for day eighteen of
CF | #EnigMarch 2022 (which I did in July of 2023), but I actually started
CF | it on the sixteenth (when the prompt was "Hex"), and I didn't finish
CF | writing it until the twentieth. The prompt was "Spell." Learn more
CF | about EnigMarch at [LINK], and find my other EnigMarch
CF | puzzles at [LINK]
CF |
CF | This game was tested by Emily Boegheim and Sarah Willson.)
