This is from the word of the day:

Ili surhavis kostumojn bele ellaboritajn por la festo.

Shouldn't it be like this instead:

Ili surhavis kostumojn belen ellaboritajn por la festo.

To my knowledge, -e words in Esperanto (also known as adverbs) do not receive the final -n of the accusative, except in case of location (direction).

Examples:
urbe - in the city | urben - to the city
kie - where | kien - to where
tie - there | tien - to there
ili marŝis flanke - they walked in the flank | ili marŝis flanken - they walked to the flank

e-vortoj are a little bit different than the others. The accusative is only used to show motion, and they don't take the plural ending.
