SWTFYW Hints and Hauls!!!

I'm shipping to a person in the United States.

 

I instantly felt ashamed that I knew exactly which direction that was.

 

First can we get a final list of participants.

Hint: my target has been on BA longer then me

 

On behalf of smonice, here is his (my) first hint. Kinda disappointed on his n00b hint in the previous thread so I had to make up for it with this one. I won't let him do it again.



So, for those unfamiliar with my ways, this is the ultimate hint. It contains the actual state and city of smonice's target.

This particular hint is a Word Search. For those unfamiliar with this type of puzzle (which should be none of you), there are words contained within this puzzle in a diagonal, horizontal or vertical direction. Some words may share letters with another word.

In total, I have added 50 words to this puzzle. There may be more based on letter randomization but there are only 50 that are related to this hint. Those 50 words that are scattered throughout this puzzle are hints about smonice's targets city and state. Some of those words can be combined to give a stronger clue at to the target's location (i.e. combining french and fries to make one single clue). No single word is less than three letters (actually there's only one word in there that's three letters).

Good luck. I'll post more hints throughout the duration of this BIF to help guide you to solving this puzzle.

Edit: For those of you wanting a larger image so you can print it out, here's the direct link: http://i.imgur.com/RfvG86M.png

 

WOW. Haywire goes big early. This does look more fun than reading your poetry though.

 

To my target,
Excited to be sending to you.
Right now I am looking at your wants list.
Regarding your wants; I think I can and will knock a few of them out.
And I see that I will be sending you a want from a brewery that is listed only once in your wants list.
Please look carefully and you will might find the brewery (and therefore the beer) that I will be sending.
I hope you like it, as it is one of my favorite seasonal stouts.
Now, good luck trying to figure out what beer I am referring to.

 

Go big or go home. Folks can't give away too much too early. Gotta make it fun and something that will keep people guessing til the end. Otherwise, you might as well just send your target a message and give him/her the shipping number now.

 

Hint 1: I am shipping South.

 

Glad I dont have to go through this - Im north of Smo not West.

 

Well, it looks like it's going to be an unproductive Thursday morning for me.

 

Looking like I can send a box with primarily all wants. Maybe a few other things thrown in for good measure

 

I have never shipped to, received from or shared a beer with my target.

 

My target does not list wild beer as a style he like on his profile but has lots of wild beers on his wants list.
I may be shipping one day late as i will be attending a release on 8/17 of wild beers.

 

Full state name? or abbreviation?

 

Can words be backwards/diagonal/etc in this word search?

Yes.

 

There's no state or city name in this puzzle. However, there are words that hint at what the city and/or state can be.

 

West isn't one of the words. And none of the state names you posted in your other post are part of the words in my list of 50.
