My best finish
Wow, I made that one WAY harder than it was...
Why is that answer superior to the 30-odd other possible answers? Would never have thought to try that if not for [4].
I don't get why the answer is what it is.
I would say it is easy, but the answer isn't really all that obvious.
There are one of a dozen solutions to this puzzle, and nothing really explains why the one that it is is what it is.
[5]&[6] Maybe the solution will reveal some unseen cleverness?
Let's hope so, I never would have guessed it if not for the comments...
[5], [6] - It's the only option that followed the directions.
I didn't use the comments, but I also have no idea why that's the answer. There are certainly lots of other possibilities.
Went the right way early. Pretty lucky.

Median solve time: 3 minutes and 4 seconds.
I think maybe the directions are more clear to some than others.
Directions were all over the board. But it got me a first anyway.

Having brute-forced it, I think I finally see how the directions work. Interesting.
Wow, totally lost on this one. When finding your way out, are mid-word changes of direction necessary?
Why is that word any better than the other 27 I found before getting that one? Why isn't RAIDER just as good?
Sorry Doc, definitely not fun tonight. No way to figure out what the "right" path is.
[15] eldurand - Yes, mid-word changes in direction are necessary
You can figure out what the right path is--I back-solved it based on something [13] said.
Think about what it is you have when you start.
As I was typing my "I don't see it" reply to [14], I finally saw it. I was ignoring the advice in [1], basically because I didn't understand it when I first read it. Not bad!
[16] check GM.
[16] Thanks.
Finally gave up and typed in a couple of words and happened to get it, but I still have NO clue how or why. Waiting to see the solution tomorrow and try to understand...
I think I might understand why the answer is what it is... maybe. Can't be sure though. Heh.
Got it. It's all about following directions.
This type of puzzle should be right up your alley.
Damn, I had the solve solution so many times and stopped because I hit a dead end.
I didn't realise that it was a dead end because it was finished! lol.
I got the right solution but I don't understand it.
found "the solution" but why can't I rate 0 stars??
I'm in the category of people who went straight to the answer - but I can see why some people may struggle. 'Just follow directions'isn't a comment that I like to see when I'm stuck but in this case it was all I needed to keep me literally on track. I think the puzzle is fair

I brute-forced it quickly last night. But came back today, and now I get it. It is a cool idea, its just too bad that you can get it easily w/o using the methodology.
[16] Actually, there is. The key word is "directions". "RAIDER" doesn't follow them.
Anyone jonesing for another puzzles?

While you could follow the directions to solve this puzzle, I solved it by writing out the puzzle to find my way out.
[29] Of course. Now I feel dumb. The mix is what confused me.
[32] At least you had the faith that there was some "unseen cleverness" going on.
I also see lots of other four and five-letter words that solve the puzzle. Why are they not also a possible solutions? What's the logic?
It took you 32 seconds to solve this puzzle.

and i thought i was slow at all the other ones.
