Ok, so going on the theory of folding the larger cross into a cube, here are the 6 sides along with which side is their opposite

Why the extra S?

Why the color coded letters?

What's the red herring?

AGRRRR! (sorry, in-laws visiting and they just can't comprehend my fascination with weird websites).

I think we're supposed to use the letters in the corners of each face of the cube. I have:

I L
I N

S U
O I

G L
L U

H C
O N

K O
W F

A C
A I

If you look at the source, you can see that the choice of colors is no accident.

In hex, each one has a 44 and four 0's.

Green: #004400
Blue: #000044
Red: #440000

I think the fact that this was made as a table rather than as an image, but the text was made as an image, may be a clue.

SPEC: For some reason, this reminds me of stained glass. It's two crosses, so it makes sense.

the text in the top and bot(tom) gifs looked like it was layed out in a grid pattern, and for some reason the word "hex" made me think it was a dot matrix grid. This might look like something to someone (not me), but it's my attempt to put one X for each word:

Just some notes:

There are 204 colored squares total (not counting the white diable in the middle). There are 32 groups of 6 squares and 1 group of 12 squares (likely and patent groups near the top right). Is the one group of 12 squares an error and are there supposed to be 34 groups of 6 squares?

There are 44 maroon squares
There are 58 green squares
There are 41 blue squares
There are 61 black squares

Here are the words inside the cross, in the color they appear in. NOTE: If there were 2 of the same letter in a word with different backgrounds, I just randomly chose which one to use...

GUITLY
UNHOLY
WICKED
HORRID
MALIGN
MALICE
POISON
SINFUL

Wicked and Sinfull don't have any red, and Unholy doesn't have any blue... maybe a clue?

in my never-ending quest to offer possibly useless ways to look at info, i created another view of the inner cross as it might be folded into a cube and then unfolded again. It maintains the orientation of the faces, but unfolded NOT back to the original inner cross.
