If you ever have problems with your order, we'll do everything we can to make it right.
As a small company (8 of us total), we aim to treat you like family. We know we’re in business because of you.
Ahh. I was trying to do something a little more clever with it--the answer's a little more straightforward. (And the misspelling of "buoyancies" isn't relevant.)
Wow, second in 18 minutes. That's a real nice, original puzzle. Good job. Took me some time, but I really appreciate it.
#5! Very cool!
Eh. A little red-herringy isn't it?
I'm afraid to ask what a "fct" is.
Frequently Confusing Tanga?
I don't know what an fct is, but the fact it's fcts is very important.
Wow. I spent nearly an hour on this (with breaks for the other puzzles) before realizing just how much I'd overthought this one. And I'm still twelfth.
. . . a bit abstemious w/the directions, eh?
Nice Aha! moment and then the answer followed. Well done.
Ok I think I get the fcts thing... still needing a li'l salt though...
Yes, very nice. I thought of the answer word when I realized what was going on, but I didn't realize it was actually the answer until I saw that the instructions were duoliteral.
I don't get what the rest of the puzzle had to do with it. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Double post....sorry
[12] Thanks! That was the salt that I needed... never thought to go that way for the answer.
:( totally lost, I would appreciate any hints, I feel very dumb right now....
I've gone down so many wrongs paths with this one I think I've confused myself!
I have no clue, I am giving this one up...for now at least
after 2 hours and 35 solves, I left some salt over at BGG
WOO. Thanks for salt [19] <3
Yes, agreed thank you for the salt, BDD!
Still totally clueless....SALT!!!!!!!!Please...even after BGG. Judging that there is only 53 completions, I think its time for some help
I'm not getting it. Is it significant that "buoyancies" is misspelled, or would the puzzle work either way?
[23] Read [1]...
Just corrected the spelling of "buoyancies"... though the puzzle works either way.
Hrm... I must be going the wrong direction, but is trying to figure out what the question is the way to go or is it the words that are important?
I know the question, and I know the answer to the question... but it isn't working.
That was really good. I had assumed I knew what the instructions were saying, but when I reread them the 30th time or so, I figured it out.
Nice. The convoluted-ness of the words should have tipped me off sooner.
Well, I get what they have in common. I see that fcts is intentional. I've tried putting things in different orders...I'm not getting this one and my melon is about to explode! I've read through all the salt here and BGG and still nothing. Any more help for the monumentally stupid??? (that'd be me, by the way)
The answer is the shortest and most common word that meets 2 criteria:
1. the description hinted in BGG
2. the description clued by the last line in the puzzle.
I found this piece of trivia by desperately googling phrases that describe what all those words in the puzzle have in common.
[30] Back solving now makes me realize that using FCTS would have been simpler and more straightforward.
[30] /boggle
A. I am correctly aligned.
1. I looked on BGG and I am not sure which "description" this is about.
[32] I was referring to BlueDevilDucky's clue in BGG:
"Not counting the instructions, what do all of the words have in common?"
I finally had my "duh" moment and got it. I was singularly focused on searching on what they had in common and not whether or not they might have friends with common interests. ;-}
[33] Doesn't my first item in [30] address that or am I lost from the start?
I got the answer, but I feel like I'm missing something. I'll be interested to see the solution.
[35] It's not about alignment.
[37] Look like I need to reboot then as I am going in the completely wrong direction.
Would a person of character say that the common element is a small one?
[38] What the words have in common has nothing to do with their meanings. Just look at them.
[39] Thanks, got it. I was once again blinded by locking in on one idea that kept me from seeing something simple.
144th after 1 hour, 19 minutes.
Took me a while to see what the words have in common (probably 1 hour, 18 minutes!). After that it was easy ... nice puzzle!
Honestly... is this puzzle some kind of joke? ;)
nice
Interesting. I wasn't a big fan of this one at first, but now that I've solved it, I have to admit it's pretty clever. Hard though.
that puzzle forced me to be abstemious for awhile.
[45] vilsack
I was just wondering if that word existed... Thanks!
