3x3x3 -- And So It Begins

OK fans. Here, on a one-time only basis*, is a 3x3x3 puzzle. Rules are as usual, only this time there's an EXTRA LEVEL. Are you up to the challenge? Good, I thought you'd be. Feel free to capitalize words as and if necessary. *(This was the first 3x3x3 presented in the forums (May 2000). Nowadays, 3x3's seem pretty routine, and most such puzzles are offered up as 3x3x3's.) angle bitter blank chance charity chicken city gag hammer human hurricane india invisible jack lip man mate original post potato red saturated shade slippers sum tax well
