I figured it might be nice for people to see some of my reasoning when I make my puzzles.
For the last puzzle, Amaurophilia, I focused on what blindfolds do and words that conveyed what it's like to be blindfolded.

- I chose impair as you are temporarily blind while wearing a blindfold. Seems that calling it impaired driving is more common in my location that I thought
- Opaque was chosen to get a U and because it relates to no light penetrating, which a blindfold is designed to do
- Enigma was chosen both for the M and because while blindfolded it's a mystery/hidden as to what happens next
- Lacking was chosen because you lack one of your senses and because I needed an L. This was a hard one to visualize
- Heightened was chosen to demonstrate that as you lose one sense your others become heightened. This was another tricky one. I considered showing a 2 step ladder and a 12 step ladder, but thought it might be too obvious
