That grid comes from identifying the fletters that repeat in the next word.

The result was not based on the original 10 words, but rather the positions in the sub-grids of the letters that changed from one answer to the next. There were 9 such pairs(1-2, 2-3, 3-4, etc) and therefore 9 letters in the final answer. |

I think this puzzle really did wind up being a lot like the Sherlock Holmes puzzle from a few months ago. If you already know the solution, it seems obvious. If you don't, the key decisions just seem arbitraty and there are any number of directions you can wander off in instead.
Still fun, though. |
