It was really interesting voyage and I must admit I heavily based my thoughts on H&S board, and certainly I'd love to say "
Thanks"
to all posters out there.
Major spoilers in Secrets, so beware those who have not yet finished.
My first stop was the entrance.

× I spent around half of an hour digging various fitting words, and thanks to CuriousShyRabbit, who helped me with it. It heavily relied on English knowledge (or Googlins skills) and I still can't believe that Metal WAS actually Tin, it just feels odd to me.
My second, shorter stop, was First Interest.

×I counted everything that was countable (but apparently made some mistakes while counting snake's lengths) but once I saw word "Morse" on H&S I immediately knew what to do and the rest was easy.
Feeling The Part -

× actually thought that Braille is 3x3 and before looking at H&S board this idea didn't even struck me. But again, once that little detail was known, the rest was easy.
Braaaaains! was really easy for me, it was first puzzle I solved 100% by myself

×But truth be told, I haven't noticed that the wrong brains are characters. I looked at the movement order - wrong brains had much bigger number than the right ones.
No Free Space - was really fun.

×I actually guessed the solution after going through the maze once. After that I noticed that there are Ortho-squares below the obstacles, but I really didn't think to click with left mouse button, and I only cared to decipher Y with RMB. It is at The Key I learned my mistake

Elementary was also really fun and enjoyable, and relatively easy.

×First part of A Study In Logic was really easy for me. Having solved most of the riddles from Smullyan's "
What is the name of this book?"
, "
The Riddle of Scheherazade"
and "
The Lady or the Tiger?"
Knights & Knaves are like second home to me

. Guessing the word was impossible to me, unless I saw a hint on H&S board.
I used a heavy spoiler (First two words) on Crypto or else I wouldn't have ever finished it. And, I have to admit, I wasn't able to do the Shift Into Third.

×I read on H&S board that the answer Monster, and after adding 2 to 2, I came up with first Mosster, and then Moister.
Unfortunately, I suck at English Crosswords

And then the last came, which I call Puzzle without Puzzle. Or Meta-Meta-Puzzle.

×The moment I saw Beethro trying to guess what he can find in the treasury I knew that, like the whole hold, it has to be something not so obvious, ironical in a way. "
Knowledge"
I said to myself, counted the letter, smiled, entered the word, and grinned with satisfaction

That's it. It was great fun, and pretty difficult especially for those who have learned English as their second language. I think I ranted enough
