Hint 2
The bolded words are replaced by other words that have the same number of letters. "OUCH" is in bold, so it needs to be replaced by another four letter word that makes more sense in context.

Hint 3
The words that replace the bolded words are composed of the letters in the seven segment display next to the text. There are no repeated letters in any of the words.

Hint 4
From top to bottom, the words that you are looking for are:
- NOTE
- ON
- HORNET
- STERN
- TONS
- THORNS

Hint 5
For each of the replacement words, keep the portions of the seven segment display that contain the letters that you used. For example, when you spelled NOTE, you would keep the two left segments, the top segment, and the middle segment. The resulting shape looks like a letter.

Solution
Replacing all the bolded words and matching the correct parts of the seven segment display will result in the word FIASCO, which is the final answer. What a day!
