I tried the puzzle in Chrome and in IE 11 today (also tried chipuzzle and full screen mode) and the letters didn't show up. The boxes did, but there were no letters in there. I also tried refreshing the screen with no luck.

Incent - a back-formation of incentive; to provide an incentive.
Lots of discussion around whether it's a word or not. It seems pretty clear to me that whether or not most dictionaries accept it, there are a lot of examples of its usage. It's certainly a buzzword at my company.

Respool
