Answer for clue #1

If you use the circles as markers and recognize that they represent letters on the wallpaper, you just need to determine where the first one is. Four rows down you’ll find the only letter that has the space for the other circles around it, which is the letter P. Now, if you move around the squares to the other circles, in order represented by their lines, you’ll spell the word PILFER.

The answer is PILFER.
