You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 0 seconds and were the 1st Tanga member to solve it. You earned 110 points for solving this.
After the first 4, I just presumed the rest.
I'm glad someone got somewhere. I can't get anything to make sense on this one. Why are the easy problems harder for me?
You and me both Hope.
[2] & [3]
The red letters on the bottom should help you out.
[4] Nice!! I didn't notice those before!
uhm...yeah, I did. That was no help, whatsoever.
Any clue on where to begin with this one?
[6] Apparently there are some red letters...
I'm kidding. I just love salt that says "follow the directions"
Really? I'm getting gibberish doing that so far. I'm obviously not getting the directions just yet.
any salt for the s?
obviously you need to change all the letters to r's, s's and l's. I just need to google rslllssrrlrsrlrrs and i'll have it.
Edit: Just kidding
lol
[7] Any more salt, and I'd might as well just give away the answer.
I guess the best I can say is: there isn't anything mortar this puzzle than what's there.
It's easy to lose track of the sequencing if you're not careful. I did a couple of times at first.
I am clueless on what the s would mean
I get the R's and the L's but what is the S?
the s's take me off the page if they mean what I think they mean...
[11] Yeah I agree totally. Following the directions was much harder than I initially thought. I had to print it out first to make sense of it.
Goodnight, all.
[16] What are you talking about?
Not salty enough for me
[17] the directions that it gives you really are as straight forward as that.
Perhaps you need a lot of will power to get through this one.
There are a lot of ways the directions could be interpreted. The letters, where you makes changes, point of view. Using a drawing program I tried at least 6 interpretations of the directions before I got it. Be careful on POV.
I had to use my paint program since I kept getting turned around...finally found my way through!
[19] Way to edit your comment without mentioning it and then make no sense.
103rd
The actual starting point is what gave me the most trouble.
[25] Ditto.
hmmm - I tried to make the starting point obvious...
[27] If you mean the tip of that arrow, you really should have one more s, otherwise you won't make your first turn.
[27] It's relatively clear once you know the rule for the puzzle, but it could mean several different but workable things before you get that figured out. Would it have made the puzzle too easy if it were more precise?
Wow, I don't understand how it could be more precise... This puzzle just fell into place for me, I guess. I had to restart few times because I lost my place in the sequence, but about half way through I knew the word.
ARRRGGGGGHHHHH! What does the "s" mean??? Please someone have pity so I can pound my head on the desk later.
i would guess straight but i haven't solved yet so don't rely on that....
it could also mean switch.... either the direction you are going or the actual turns themselves.... too salty??? even at the bottom half-a-day later??
Thought of that, but if it means straight then you'd just stay on the same 3 letters. South doesn't work for me either so maybe R doesn't mean right & L doesn't mean left. Don't understand why I can solve the hards ones & not the easys.
Concentrate on the mortar. I hope that isn't too FMHG, but it was one of my sticking points. Imagine you are giving directions to one of those annoying people who says, "here?" at every street you come to. I thought s was both "south" and "stop" at one point, but both were wrong. That leaves...
I'm not sure there should be something as "too much salt" for an "easy" puzzle - well, with the exception of posting the answer outright...8-o
There is some pretty Salty Salt posted at BGG for those who are still stuck.

woot my first solve.
You solved this puzzle in 2 hours, 47 minutes and 51 seconds and were the 273rd Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
that puzzle was lame, imo.
[36] congrats on your first solve!!!
Print this bad boy out and keep rotating the paper.
Got the first six, then guessed the rest in one shot.
I guessed after the 6th letter because I got lost. Got from that.
I dislike puzzles that have a straightforward trick, once you know it, but require so much concentration o\along the way. Maybe if I had a printer...

Nice. I liked it. Use MS Paint instead of printing.
"TomTom, did I just miss the turn? Where do I go now?"
Only 19 hours to solve it. ;)
yay first one word wonder i ever finished
Used MS Paint. Fun times.
Knew there was a reason I should learn how to hook up my printer =P
16 hours, 33 minutes and 14 seconds. Must be why nobody likes to ride with me.
I don't get it...
