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". it includes also "piquant pecan" , "monkey puzzle"; "Isaac Neopolitan" from right to left. "Quantum Cherry " diagonally , from left to right and from top to bottom.

In the bottom 3 lines in little letters: “Bring your completed wordsearch to Whip Smart for your free scoop of ice cream. v Offer not open to employees of Whip Smart, their families, milkmaids or cows. Whip Smart, 16 Lorentz Curve, Mobius Strip, Perplex City.“ with an extra v at the 1rst line's end (cf "letter v an others in weird places" in PPC Academy's page in wiki)
