I got the same answer as .1 by using my little paper models
where the clues (numbered) give arrangements on paper. Note that
":" and "..." are connectors.
(8,12) (11) (5) (2) (7)
Color Yellow Red
Nation : Ukran Engl
Pet : Horse Fox : Snail
Drink : .... ..... Tea :
Smoke Kool Chest OldGold
(3) (6,4) (13) (14)
Color Ivory...Green
Nation Span : Japan
Pet Dog : :
Drink Coffee OJ :
Smoke Lucky Parl
Clues 9, 10 and 15 force the starting board to be:
1 2 3 4 5
Color Blue
Naton Norway
Pet
Drink Milk
Smoke
Now shuffle the clues and out pops an answer. It took longer to make
the "clues" than to solve the mess (or to type this!).
FWIW,

The irony of working on Boggler "1040" on April 15 was not lost on me! -C
