A Cleverly-Titled Logic Puzzle Blog: Monday Mutant 116: Seek and Spell / Crowd Nine

In this Seek and Spell puzzle, every row, every column, and every outlined box consisting of nine cells each must contain every letter in FLINCH MAG exactly once (as in a Crowd Nine puzzle, but with letters). The rules are otherwise unchanged.

This puzzle honors Minfang Lin from China, the winner of my recent BoardGameGeek contest giving away cards from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, plus a custom puzzle for the winner. Even though Minfang Lin chose not to accept the cards, the other half of the prize remains.
