Dec 11, 2007 Cryptopix Puzzle

There's 27 different ways to spell this according to my wife.

You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 28 seconds and were the 1st Tanga member to solve it. Whoo hoo! I'm getting good at randomly catching puzzles post late.

You solved this puzzle in 49 seconds and were the 3rd Tanga member to solve it. You earned 108 points for solving this.

would have been faster, but the spelling on the answer is not what i'm used to.

My first top 100, and first top 10. Sweet.

[2] No doubt. I was worried that I saw this way too late. This makes the first time that I've ever had 5 top 100 solves in one day.

yeah... definitely not a good word to use for a cryptopix

I plugged one spelling in Wiki and it selected a different one. Google suggested the right one for several spellings I tried as well. So maybe there is a way that's more common then others.

Duplicate post.

I never thought I would be glad my stupid college roommate had one of the green things. Seriously, he burnt the carpet multiple times.

Man...its been a while since I've been in the top 10!

Wait, when did this actually get posted?

You solved this puzzle in 4 minutes and 13 seconds and were the 17th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 91 points for solving this.

Definitely not my preferred spelling, but I pronounce it using the back of my throat, which most Goyim can't or don't.

It's bad when you keep repeating it and the word still didn't click.

I got it in 37 seconds on my first attempt at spelling. I'm pretty proud of that. However, technically there are at least two common and correct spellings that I am well aware of (my ex wifes family often argued over the correct spelling, I was 'lucky' enough to be around to catch one such argument).

Could there be more spellings...

[14] Yeah, exactly. Mostly because I just don't pronounce it like that.

63rd, and it apparently got posted while I was doing the OWWs. Took a couple of tries as I tried to double the wrong letter.

Is that green thing what I think it is? It looks a lot more elaborate than what I would think it should look like, but then again, I have led a sheltered life.

Edit: Oh, it isn't *quite* what I thought it was, but it is related. Thank you Wikipedia!

I know what both are but I just can't put them together

ok I know the woman, and I know what that thing is...now putting it together? I am stumped

Edit: DUH! I wish they would keep the one word ones as Wonders and the Cryptopix as phrases...just my preference (I know it says word or phrase!)

[20] I 'ear you. It can be quite 'ard to combine them.

Thank you, [22]!! Now, to figure out the spelling....

Huh. Go to dinner, miss a puzzle. That'd be just fine if they didn't give out points for solving them quickly.

hehe, that was a tough one to put together. it helps to just say the words real fast.

Off subject...does anyone want to test my one word puzzle? Tangagram me

man i was 101st dang...

any salt?
can't put it together.......grr

109th. Dang.

It took me a while, because I was getting used to looking for phrases.

What's the green thing?

EDIT: I figured it out, just can't get the spelling.

EDITx2: Got it. Look on Wikipedia for the spelling.

bah... that was a stretch.

i swear i would've gotten this one faster had i been using the item on the right...makes thoughts flow easier

Would be better for a 1 word puzzle. Still good overall, just took me 2 min to figure it out.

A misdirection on my part, then a misspelling on my part, finally got it. Seasonal fun!

Ok two things total misspelling, one of the letters is silent. Two the bong looking thing has so many different names, I could list them all but sheesh thats a lot of names.

Wow, my first published puzzle! Glad some of you are enjoying this...I wanted a different theme for the holidays. As for the spelling...yeah, there's a bunch of ways, but one more common than the others, and if you know the answer, isn't it a little bit of fun trying all the ways you can spell it? (I know, I know, it can be annoying to have to do it...but eh...)

[37] That's very close... You should probably edit out what you have 'cause it's a little too salty. Try just the ones that start with the same letter. And say 'em fast in a row.

Thanks [13]! Good salt (at least for me!)

took me a minute...

Where's the Hebrew character set?

This puzzle has a nice presence.

If it hadn't taken me a few minutes to figure out who the girl was I woulda had this faster. good puzzle for sure though!

You solved this puzzle in 2 minutes and 17 seconds and were the 528th Tanga member to solve it. Spelling threw me a loop for a while. +1 on college roommate helping to get the right side clue.

Thanks, [22]! That was all I needed!

That spelling is not the one I would have chosen.

It took me long enough to put in the correct spelling.

Is salt kosher on a puzzle as easy as this?

dam spelling.

Although the spelling is an issue, there is a clue within the clue as to the correct spelling.

Nice touch, imo. (if intentional, that is)

Came back 159 days later and solve it. Nice puzzle!
