I would help, but not sure if I have that one right, it won't take my answers either.

Argh... just need #6
NM - I got it. That one's a bit of a stretch, though. Other than that, great puzzle!

I think I have everything, but it isn't taking. I tried a few things for the hatchet, but nothing seems to work. I can't think of alternates for anything else that still fits.

RE: #6 There is only one item pictured, but the word I got was for two or more items. But then it says my answers are incorrect.

[13] How about a book in the Bible?

I forgot there was another alternative for #11. No wonder #2 didn't fit. :p
#6: It is a slight stretch. It's been a while since my phonetics class, but I think a fricative was changed to an affricate, but in the same place of articulation, so they sound similar but there's a little added something.
#9: Removed, too salty.

[20] The answer isn't plural.

[9] thanks a lot! I don't know if I would have thought of that. I tried "axis" and "asks" (the latter using the ebonic pronunciation of the word)
Too bad. I was hoping to solve from the tumbnails (the only way to get a good rank on dial-up)

Me too. And 13 isn't fitting.

#9 is hard to salt lightly. That chuck family of animals might have chucked that

for #9, I'd give some salt, but ... actually, I just gave some!

Posted on Fri Jul 25, 2008 07:24 PM |
[27] LOL... It had just click after I posted, but that works too... unfortunately I must be off on something else because it isn't taking

[29] good salt!

[31] thanks. You may have seen about 3 rephrasings in the last minute as I figured how not to give too much....

salt for #7?

Posted on Fri Jul 25, 2008 10:10 PM |
Number 6 is a stretch, I thought it was playing not off hatchet, but "adze" and was trying "adds" which was nice, but wrong.
71st at 40 minutes
EDIT - More than 1 TG about the "stretch" comment. I guess where I'm from the solution is a stretch (pronunciation or emphasis wise) but others are not finding it so, so if my comment steered you away, I apologize. A potato potato moment.

[36] Good in soup with potatoes, oh darn there's a hole in the pot! quick towels!

[36] The vegetable shown is related to onion and garlic, though it doesn't look like it. I think there was a Good Eats episode on it.

13 wouldn't load for me, and I had to struggle with the thumbnail. Finally got it from the letters that crossed it - thank goodness that gave me half the letters to work from.

Darn it...I submitted a hyper just like this a few days ago. Guess it won't be published for a while...or ever since the mods reject puzzles that are too similar to other puzzles.
Good one CinMel.

Thanks [27] ... #9 was the toughest one here. #6 didn't exactly fit but was easy enough to guess.

[51] I know! No matter how I tried to squeeze in "Artist Formerly Known As..." it wouldn't fit!
Very nice puzzle. Totally doable. I didn't really find any stretches at all. Well done.

hrmmm... I have the item in #7... just can't figure out what the answer should be. *sigh*
EDIT: I had an 'ah ha' moment - was thinking it was a different item.
post and solve!
