Solution to 2: At the Meeting Place

    There are three steps to solving this puzzle. The first is to complete the word search. Once all the words have been found, only 7 letters will remain. Read in order from left to right and top to bottom, they spell out the word OVERLAP. 

    Next, we do as the word search says: we overlap the letters on to the crossword. The white squares tell us what to do from there: 

    YOU ARENT DONE A HINT YOU MUST FORM A SQUARE USE GIVEN JIGSAW 

    The last step is to use the jigsaw. However, this is not a jigsaw. The characters in the background of the jigsaw say "inequality", referencing the fact that it is a futoshiki puzzle, also known as an inequality sudoku. Every row and column must be filled with the numbers 1 to 7, and the jagged ends represent less than and greater than signs. The inequalities must hold true for a valid solution. Though quite difficult, it is possible to logically find the solution to this puzzle. 

    

    Overlaying the letters from the white squares of the crossword in order from left to right and top to bottom, then extracting the letters represented by the number 7 on the futoshiki puzzle and rearranging, we get the word isogram.
