        I only worked it out after reading the post-game notes from the puzzle creator.

        The word was, IIRC, “ending”. They realised that both “never” and “nerve” worked, and that they are anagrams of each other. So they added the weird instruction to “anagram this” and put in “eenrv”. The idea being that you’re supposed to work out that the puzzle meant “never” in that spot, or it meant “nerve”. Either one you figure out should make the puzzle doable.

        But that relies on you understanding what they meant by “anagram this”. Which I didn’t, and it seems like a lot of people didn’t.
