Dec 16, 2011 Hypercross Puzzle

Yay stickman!! Awesome job, jebediehard!!

awesome!

All but the first....

cute solve method
edit: [3] you can't do the first until you've done all the others....

Isn't there 1 too few letters in the answer grid for #1?

I know... I have the rest...

Very aweseome puzzle! I have to admit, I didn't "get" it until I scrolled all the way to clue #21 (leaving everything blank). Then I went back to #2 and worked through them as I knew exactly what to do (and what would be expected for #1). Thanks for making it!

Another beauty Jeb! Thanks!

Hmmmm.. I have all but #1

EDIT: Finally! I had trouble properly reading the directions. My thinking was too square to begin with.
Incidentally, I earned my rocket tonight, hooray!

[5] Never mind. I stopped solving #1 to early, and didn't realize that I wasn't seeing the whole thing.

Got all the answers but the 1st one must not be " " even though it fits.

Another very cool puzzle! Stickman is one of my favorites.

and I really liked ask for directions for clue 1

[13] The other clues are the directions for #1.

So, how is number one not one letter too short?

Very clever!

That was fun!!!! I had to restart the map about a dozen times though. Apparently I'm directionally challenged.

This was so much fun. [17] Me too!

Very cool puzzle indeed. Thank you, jebediehard !

[15] You should actually have something far too long for the blank, but then you need to do one more step.

[17] Me too! This was hard!

I love jebediehard Hypers. There are so many layers and they are so well constructed. A great deal of fun, despite the amount of work.

[22] so what's the middle word of NCHETNWSRDRIROGU?

I enjoyed it. I would have actually LOVED it if I didn't accidentally close the window when I was working on the last clue. Still managed 75th despite starting over.

Brilliant! Of course, it was made harder by my inability to accurately write down on paper what I JUST TYPED IN!!!! LOL!

I've never done a Hyper that twisted back on itself like that (not salt). Mind-boggling.

[24] O endel3, what have you done?!?

[28] obviously not a clue...but I'll look again tomorrow.....ugh...

Easy up until #1... which is like a brick wall.

DANG! That was tedious.
But very clever- must have been hard to construct. Good job Jebie.

Really tricky....painful.

Yea! Really late and still got 3 bonus points. Saw the stickman and knew it was going to be a good evening! Very nice as always!!

Very cool puzzle! #1 was a doozy - I need a shower.

Brilliantly Done! Nice feeling after closure.

another brilliant puzzle. very NE@... yes, that is the best i could come up with... i'm not that Smart. What? perhaps i should just Stop.

Nice job! Getting a little vertigo trying to find the answer to number 1 at the end!

Wow! What a great puzzle. That must have taken a TON of work! Very impressive! I had all the words but didn't come back to the first clue for a couple of hours & still got 127th - after 4.5 hours!

Finally caught on.. all but #1, you all must be better out of the box thinkers than I am.

CLAP< Standing Ovation< CLAP< Take a Bow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
has to be in top 10 best hyper since beginning

Lovely, lovely. lovely puzzle. Actually it was number 1 that got it for me.

In that I got the first 7 or 8 chars and then I just knew.

Just a fantastic puzzle. Just fantastic.

OMG. Brilliant. Speechless.

Is there a way to see list of puzzles sorted by rating (fun or difficulty)?

Nice puzzle---a stupid mistake along the way, and gibberish of course!

Wow. That was an awesome puzzle.

[45] If you select a puzzle type down at the bottom of the page, it will take you to the archives. On the archive page, on the lefthand side are various selectors to sort your browsing. You can select to sort by "most fun" or "most difficult" etc. You can filter to look at only a certain type of puzzle, only featured, this week, this year, all. Should be able to get you what you want.

[48] - Thanks for the very detailed direction.

FANTASTC PUZZLE - loved the three layers!!!

Hmm, will someone check my answers? I would place a bet on them being correct, but obviously not...

I will TG my answers...

Wow, that would not have been so hard at all if I hadn't lost my sense of direction on the second to last clue.

Another awesome puzzle.........................LOVED it!

Wow... was 1 reference away from a top ~50 last night and just did not make that last connection... but awesome puzzle!

that was awesome
one of the best ever

You get my applause for an awesome puzzle.

For all the hard WORK involved, everyone who solved should get 1000 points and free stuff!!

Edit: Actually, the solvers and the author should get paid for spending this much time on a puzzle.

I'd gotten pretty tired of stickman, but this is my favorite of the bunch

You always impress! Very cool idea for a puzzle.

A masterpiece of a puzzle!

great stuff!
