Woo-hoo again! Very cool puzzle, Swanny!

Wow! that must have been really difficult to put together!!

Very Very Neat! Excellent if fact.

2nd - and saltless - and strutting around the room like I've solved the secrets of the universe!!! (ha!) - hey! usually I'm 80th and preserved with all the salt I've consumed :-)

Is it significant that there are odd numbers of the first two animals?

4th - that was a good one. And yeah, must have been tricky to put together.

This could have taken a while, like sixteen days, five hours, seven minutes, and one second.

Hey Swanny!! Great Puzzle.
I liked this one so much I went looking for any other puzzles you have submitted and found your One Word Warm Up published 2007-07-14. I did notice however, that the answer and solution are not posted. Could you edit it so the Answer is included in the Solution box (as the Answer box is not published for some reason). You may want to verify the Answer Word is in the solution description for this one too - so it is published tomorrow night.
In the meantime This was a fantastic puzzle - good job!

18th in 22 minutes!

Interesting puzzle, but this is one time that the answer seems like it should have been plural (I usually get tripped up on the ones that expect plurals).

Definitely well crafted Swanny!

Yes, very clever... but I agree that the answer should have been plural (which actually works with the puzzle, too).

wow, very cool! Needed a salty push but once I got rolling, very rewarding.
Go Swanny

Well, I got a word which doesn't work, so I'm guessing it's the first part of the puzzle. Trouble is, I don't know what to do next.

Best puzzle in a long time.

Thanks, Swanny.

The first part should give you elements to use to solve the second...

Got it! Holy moly, that was cool! :)

AWESOME!

Posted on Fri Aug 03, 2007 11:18 PM |

Hey everybody, thanks for the comments. The answer definitely should have been plural, and I just edited the puzzle to fix that mistake. It took a bit of patience to create, and I'm a bit new to this, so I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.

[19] Thanks for the advice, leadfoot. This puzzle was already set, and I just updated the earlier puzzle too.

While I think the text color choice could have been better I think this is how Tanga puzzles should all be put together.

Nicely done.

I wasted a lot of time by trying both relative and absolute positions. (It's absolute, by the way).

WOW... That was a tough puzzle for me... I guess if you start in the wrong direction its hard to go back and re-think... but I believe enough of us had a difficult time with this puzzle that is did not deserve to be on the EASY list like Swanny wanted it!!! GOSH... only 31% have finished this so far... wow... NOT an easy one!!! BUT wow swanny... good job!!! HOLY cow... I am STILL in the top 100!!! See swanny... this one was tough... but awsome!!

SALT: This is a very WORDy puzzle... but NOT too many letters!!!!

Posted on Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:39 AM |

LMAO... took me 15 hours to finish this puzzle... that just looks bad!!! LOL I tried it last night and started to tug at my hair and went to bed!!! But that should really help the CURVE on the average solve time... omg... just too funny!!!
