This puzzle is based on the site isithuntyet.info, which spent most of the year letting visitors know that:
"SETEC ASTRONOMY" is an anagram of "TOO MANY SECRETS"
The clues presented in this puzzle all solve to anagrams of SETEC ASTRONOMY plus one letter. A new clue is presented each time the page is reloaded. After 23 clues have been seen, the puzzle loops back around to the first clue.
The extra letters, in clue order, spell the instruction for solvers to DEPICT ANAGRAM OF YOUR TEAM. Upon doing so, solvers were told the answer to the puzzle, QUARTZ.
