Abtei der Rätsel

In the books in the abbey a puzzle of 5-10 letters is hidden and the monks are tasked to solve it with the help of their novices. They strictly split their work; the monk can walk two steps and read the books, the novice can carry them and walk 4 steps. For more steps you need bread, for the secret passage to the tower a key. Only the monk can enter the tower and read one book there. A monk in the same spot with a book who did not move in this turn can read the book with the help of the miniature bookcase and learns one letter. If you want to propose a solution and are correct you win, if you are wrong you drop out of the game.
