[Solution] Fancy Dress – 28 June 2021

Solving this puzzle involves recognizing that the minifigures have a variety of headgear, faces, torsos, legs, and accessories, and each one is associated with the letters of their name. One possible solving path is given below:

  1. GRANT and GRACE differ only in the final two letters, as well as their pants and accessories. Therefore, pants and accessories must be the final two letters.
  2. CHASE has the same torso and accessory as GRACE. Since they only share their third and fifth letters, and accessory cannot be the third letter, torsos must indicate the third letter, and accessories the fifth.
  3. GRANT and FRANK share their second and third, and fourth letters, as well as their faces, torsos, and pants. We already know torsos are the third letters, and pants must be the fourth. This means faces are the second letter.
  4. By process of elimination, headgear must be the first letter.

From here, it is a simple matter of finding which minifigures share each body part with the answer. The pirate hat gives the first letter of CHASE, the glasses gives the second letter of ALICE, the vest matches the third letter of FIONA, the brown pants are the fourth letter of BRIAN, and the goblet is the last letter of FRANK. Putting these together gives the final answer, CLOAK.
