Super Search Nine!

Imagine a word-search, but you've got to figure out the words, too! Meet the SUPER SEARCH!

In this hexagonal grid, there are 36 hidden words (forwards, backwards, or diagonally) that fall under SIX categories. Circle the answers as you find them -- like with a traditional word-search, letters can be used in multiple words.

When you are finished, there will be 11 letters that aren't used in any words, which, when written in order, will give you your final code.

Your SIX word categories (with six words each): Brass Instruments, Countries with a Total Area of 500,000 square miles or more, Weather Conditions (noun form i.e. SUN not adjective form i.e. SUNNY), Video Game Consoles, Impressionist Artists (last name), and Crunchy Foods.

All words have at least 3-letters, are not plural, and do not use abbreviations. No words are contained entirely within other words.
