The solutions to each of the grids is as follows (sad neighbors are colored in blue; disgusted neighbors in green):
After solving each grid, count the number of sad (blue) neighbors outside of each loop, and use that as an index into the alphabet:
| Neighbors | Letter |
|---|---|
| 8 | H |
| 15 | O |
| 23 | W |
| 7 | G |
| 18 | R |
| 5 | E |
| 1 | A |
| 20 | T |
Reading in order yields the answer, HOW GREAT.
