Jul 29, 2007 Hypercross Puzzle

Middle down has me stumped.

think of the scottish

help for the upper right across

Top one across is my stumper.

[1] Wiki Scottish ones.

I had the wrong one at first.

think scotland.

At least we were able to do this one...easy and hard both have us stumped tonight!

agreed

[5] Think Elvis :0

[2][3][4] Ahh... I had the next-to-bottom across answer wrong which led me astray. Thx.

I'm stumped on the left down answer

For some reason I am stumped on the red and black shirt. Third down.

those shirts always make me think of home improvement (the tv show)

[8] Stuffed bear may help.

[9] Tool Time!!

still looking for help for upper right aross, it's my last one!

[12] See my comment above on Elvis. Or if that doesn't help how about I get my Revolver?

oh shoot, that means I had the silk-looking one wrong...
thanks though! at least I'm closer!

that makes me think of blue suede shoes...

edit: i had the right answer all along, I was just spelling something else wrong *smacks head*

wow, that wasn't silk at all

Salt for the second to last across?

w00t! My years of slaving in a costume shop in college have finally proved useful.

[17] for the second to last across, think Irish

Yeah, easy for a threadhead like me!

That shiny red one is hard because you can't see the nap of it. It can be hard to photograph sometimes!

It's commonly blue or black.

As far as the checkered shirt, sheets made of this are cozy in cold weather!

Can't get the leftmost down, any help with that one - stuffed bear didn't help me

One down please?

2 across looks more like sail material to me.

Left most down: Think of the type of pants that you hated to wear, but your mom always bought for you.

I don't agree that the green fabric is what the solution claims it is.

The answer is a very specific pattern that the picture does not show.

I was stuck on this forever.

wow...can't believe the top across wasn't silk or satin/sateen

Is it just me or is 1 down shaped like an ear?

Never heard of the 2nd down fabric, but wiki helped.

[17] You'd probably see it around Tammany Hall.

I agree that top across is definately a bad pix! Doesn't show up as a gooc representation.

[2] I thought that word was for the pattern.

[30] Maybe a mafia-type person wearing a jogging suit would be better?

[25] Green fabric? I must be missing something.

Could use some salt... I've got answers in all the boxes, but something still isn't right.

sjlee - GM what you have

[35] GM sent.

Sorry sjlee - I was in a meeting (don't you hate when work gets in the way of life?!). First across is wrong - you're close though. I salted in my GM

ARGH!!! Another night with no new crossword? How will I be able to sleep?!?

Are these coming out every other night now? Too bad ... I actually like these more than the other puzzles most nights.

[39] Agreed. I like these most of all typically.

having trouble with left across and 3rd across

whoops double post

yay got it

Loin Cheese???? Ewwwwww...:)

[17] In case anyone hasn't gotten it yet, for three across the more common version of this fabric is used for a specific type of cap [salty link]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_cap - I believe the existing clue photo is not the best representation of the fabric as traditionally used.

Also, two across is typically a much looser weave. I was a "closely-woven unbleached or white cotton cloth" for me for a long time until I did a crossword helper search and found the alternative! Perhaps the existing image is simply not "brown" enough and is photographed from too far away... Puzzle is a GREAT idea, but a couple of images are a tiny bit misleading.

[6] and [11] were what I needed, Thanks!

Wow. I AM a freaking genius. I thought there was no way I'd get this. I was crushed by the top right for a little while, but I smoothed it out.

No hypercross today either?

I'm sad...

Tanga needs a way for people to submit hypercross ideas if they can't develop enough of them internally

i'm sad too.

[51] I completely agree.

I have this fantasy that the reason we aren't seeing hypercross puzzles is because the moderator is building a hypercross submission page...

We need more hypercross.

Someone shared this from the Easy Puzzle Today...
