Excellent puzzle!
hmmmm... I got nothing. The easy and hard were cake, but I am stumped on this.
[2] I'm with you, this is the last one for me and I'm nowhere close to having an idea
[2], [3] Ditto
[2] - [4] Yup. So many options for the first one, none of which make sense with the second one. And no clue on the third one. :)
that's not one word at all!
Think I have part of it but I have no clue what the ladies are implying...
Gah, I was thinking the answer was one word... but it's not. This is a cryptopix.
[6] Dah! It got much easier once you said that. Thanks!
[8] Salt for the dense?
The first two seem easy enough, but how does the third fit? Hmm...
EDIT: *slaps forehead* Sheesh... too simple, I overthought.
Salt: Try describing the third picture out loud if you get stuck on it.
The directions on the home page correctly state "a word or phrase" -- bear this in mind
And the directions on THIS page say " Is it the word..." :(
You're right jeep - I overthought it too! Duh!
Yeah, I NEVER would have gotten that without brainstorming with a friend on the first pic.
sigh.... just not getting it...
I've got it!
"Sharpening Nest Ladies saying Goodness"
Am I overthinking it? ;-) Seriously, someone throw me a frickin' bone.
No salt helping me at all. I guess I'm forsaking these points...
Question: How much goodness do those ladies have between them?
Grrrr...
I thought that the act depicted in picture one was whetting. And there aren't very many sayings that start with wetness.
[18] just what I needed. Man, was I way off on the first picture. Thanks!
I had a decent obscene answer that involved wetness and a frank discussion between the ladies.
"I had a decent obscene answer that involved wetness and a frank discussion between the ladies."
LOL
For those stuck on the first pic, it is NOT "sharpening" or any derivation thereof. I love my thesaurus.
Ow... not impressed. Doesn't even sound close.
argh that's the first thing i thought of when i saw the puzzle but thought it couldn't possibly be the answer.
I agree with you [25]. The first two I got on the first guess, but was totally stumped by the third.
Also, took a while to realize multi-word answers were possible in this puzzle type.
It helps if you think outside the box on that first picture. [23] is good advice.
Man it took me for ever I guess I need to "Improve" my skills, especially in cutlery
I have no idea about the women.
[18] Thanks - that triggered the light bulb moment!
[18] Yep, thanks.
[23] - thanks for the thesaurus suggestion! There's no way I would have come up with that word without it.
[23] led me away from the right answer, because it does nave something to do with sharpening...
Quote from the top: "One Word Wonders are puzzles where the answer to the puzzle is exactly one word. For a better idea on how to solve this puzzle, see an example "
My grammar teacher would be over there with yardstick in hand... a "word" does not have spaces... or include three words.
bad that this was multiple words
Thanks [18] & [23], both of yours helped me together.
It isn't the sound it is the spelling.
Wow, I was stumped until [6] gave me the salt I needed.
[34] [35] That's true, except this isn't a One Word Wonder... it's a Cryptopix. From the home page:

A coworker and I had looked at it and were trying to figure it out. And when I described it to another coworker we figured it out! thanks to [23]. But I figured out the last picture first. That made it easier.
i am stuck on the last part, i am pretty sure i have the first two pictures figured out, but have no idea what to make of the last one.
Ahrgh...typing spaces into a tanga puzzle solution makes me feel dirty.
oh i got it, i didnt know that was a real phrase.
Not really fond of how the first word works. I mean--that first image doesn't give the sound and really doesn't give the spelling, given what you have to use the second image for. :( There was a light switch in a puzzle recently that I think would've been better.
I'm surprised people had so much trouble with this one, usually I'm the straggler desperately trying to figure out a solve method for puzzles rated 1.5 stars on difficulty, but I saw this one immediately. So a pleasant change for me. Plus, I think today was the first time I've ever solved all the daily puzzles without any salt.
Thanks ethnosax! I was soo stumped until you posted, and I agree the other object would have been better
It would've been more accurate if the first picture had a leather strop instead of a sharpening stone, IMHO.
...sigh... I still can't get it :(
there's HOPE for us ALL:
