[SOLVED] TheUnraveling.labyrinth

from the solve of rejoice...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.theunraveling.com/labyrinth.html

Most of the text at the bottom is from "An Essay on Man in Four Epistles: Epistle 1" by Alexander Pope except for this bit inserted in the middle:
Quote:
Might we go up, down, left, or right,
One prison wall will follow flight.
Though each flight may yield a different color,
Last step with new wall match one another
Without a match we'll go astray
For within thy lines the colors stay
But in our search of thy ill-bred name
Create not our roads of falser claim

Sound sorta like instructions...

Also, I think the title of the page might have something to do with it, as it is the first unraveling page to be named something other than its .html name.

It's a colour maze of sorts. The colors outside the 10x10 grid are kinda like markers.

Starting with the C at the top left, the color of the square you're on dictates where you go next. For example, the top left C on green means you go to a row or a column marked on the outside with a green marker. So you can either go towards the right to the yellow O (it's in a green column) or downwards to the orange L (it's in a green row). In this case, the orange L is the right way (although going to the yellow O and onwards yields "COWARD" then gibberish)

From the orange L, go right to the light blue E (it's in a orange column) and so on. There are times where there can be multiple choices where you can go next but from trial and error and from working backwards from the bottom right, I got "cleithrophobia" which is the fear of being enclosed/locked in. Relevant letters are:
Code:
C . . . . . . . . .
| . . . . . B-----I
| H-------P-O-O . |
| . . . . . . | . |
L-----I-------+-E |
. . . T . . . | . |
. . . | . . . | . |
. . . | . . . | . |
. . . | . . . | . |
. . . H-------R . A

leads me to: http://www.theunraveling.com/cleithrophobia.html

Well, this is already solved, but it looks like we may have gotten an unnoticed hint for this in one of the unraveling emails...
