DIRTY LAUNDRY
by Brian Tivol

Perform the word search as the instructions indicate.  You need to
rotate the grid 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees to find all the words.
(Rotating by 45 degrees gives "letters" that are all the wrong size,
so you shouldn't try that.)

You'll be left with the following uncircled letters:

   ------------------------
   F--LIPTH-ESELE-TTERS-V--
   E------R-T---I-C------A-
   L-L--Y-T-O---G-E-------T
   T------H-I---S-P------U-
   ZZLES--S-OLUTI-O-----N--
   ------------------------

"Flip these letters vertically to get this puzzle's solution."  If you
flip the entire grid vertically, then the uncircled regions form the
letters in the answer, encoded by the puzzle's mechanism: V-NECK.
