$\begingroup$ @M Oehm- Awesome work. To be very frank, I would have given up before reaching here. +1 for the findings. $\endgroup$– TechidiotCommented Dec 17, 2016 at 20:02

1$\begingroup$ @Techidiot You were really close actually, you were at the final step, just needed to combine all the clues. For anyone interested the word that doesn't matter was "art", it was mostly filler though. There were two clues people missed (reading down in the main grid unencoded there were "run length" and "f is six" which were there just to help people un-mangle the sentences with the blanks in and confirm the encoding of the run length. You all didn't need them in the end but it was a bit of a safety net :) $\endgroup$– Tim BCommented Dec 17, 2016 at 20:18

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. logical-deduction), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
