One of the most difficult aspects of composing the Brain Game is trying to explain the instructions. Some otherwise easy puzzles just defy being pinned down to a quick set of steps. For what it’s worth, I tried several different ways to phrase the instructions to today’s puzzle, and hope I nailed it. Please read carefully!

You’re looking for a particular five-letter sequence.

When this entire five-letter sequence is added to each of
the words below (before, after, or somewhere in the middle), you’ll end up with:
a North Pole island, a fictional tycoon, and Thanksgiving (in America). 

B A T

T O N

D A Y

HERE is the solution.
