Looks like my lead is shrinking faster than you can say "stupid Apple not allowing flash on the iPhone!"
Three correct answers so far:
1) Loney Fan (makes good on guarnatee!)
2) Ubragg...but you back it up, so it's ok
3) J Steve
And Quad too!
Nice one, EK, I try... ;)

This was a great one. Very imaginative, with the need for solvers to be very thorough with no guessing since it won't help. Then that last step...
Great puzzle.
My brain does not work this way!
This is definitely not a worktime multitasking puzzle. I may be falling back to the pack on this one.
Berko is in. So we have:
1. Loney Fan
2. Ubragg
3. J Steve
4. Quad
5. Berko

Do I need to be able to listen to the video in order to solve?
congrats to the top 5 in
EK, that is one evil puzzle
Guessing definitely cost me a lot of time. But I did get some interesting anagrams from those letters.
Sorry, incorrect Jose.
Lauro - the music was added solely so that its soothing melody would prevent you from cursing me as you work on the puzzle.
curses EK!
One question: can i repeat letters?
Karina - you only have to use the letters that appear - I think there is at least one letter that appears twice.
A hint has been posted.
Yes, it has been.
posted in the video or the comments section?

You guys are killing me with this one.
Stick with it, MSTI. The payoff will rock your world. Or at least make you feel like your time wasn't completely wasted. Or at least be worth 50 puzzle points.
Just got in from the office, and I'm working on it now.
Do the lines that are darker than the others have any relevance?
I quit.
MLASF - don't quit! I've posted another hint.
The colors don't matter. I just put them in there for the first few shuffles to make the tiles easier to follow.
One last shot, er actually a second shot, with better reasoning.
But I'm sure it's still wrong.
I'm driving myself crazy, i think i'm on the path but i must missing something tiny and obvious, as usual.
I've still got nothing but a jumble of letters
Sorry neeebs, not correct.
The posted hints are more helpful than they may appear. And Karina, you are indeed missing something tiny.
Answer's in.
Talk about the inability to see what is right in front of your face.

Ok folks, I'm going to sleep. Good luck, I'll check emails in the morning...
Are you on the east coast, EK? Going to sleep at 8:31 PT, if here in California, would be a little unusual. Do you get to see many Dodger games? DVR'd?
(Also may explain the 7:00 am start. I'm almost always a little later by the time I remember there's a puzzle on the day. I have a reminder on my computer but, well, that's in another room. I'm often sort of awake but not really awake. Hence my as-usual 5th spot... Got to it by about 7:30 today.)
