Prototype Cards: Number 041

Whipsmart Wordsearch UNSOLVED

Card 041

Wordsearch which also links to Whipsmart Ice cream An ice cream which improves your IQ whilst you eat.
According to Step, if you do not remove any letters and just ROT the first three lines you will clearly see that it says:

   Code:
   wordsearchesarethep
   uzzleequivalentofwa
   tchingpaintdrybhleg
   The rest of the text translates as garbage. 

On the right edge of the card, next to the bottom of the word search box, there is a watermark that has a number 9 and a symbol of a diamond (possibly dealing with poker cards?)

The block includes the flavor "David Hassletoffee".
