When a validation page has not appeared

Examining signs, statues and conversations adds words to the Journal. Typing a guess does not validate it. Place appropriate glyphs on the picture page and check the success indication.

Some statues must be turned to read every side. Reading only one face of the large Fortress statue can leave words undiscovered.
