One Word Wonder

Yay! 8th! I must be on a roll tonight. :D

Nice little puzzle.

huh?

I'm with [2] so far. The only one I can't get.

Edit: Once again posting makes it clear

[3] Same here. For some reason, I've had more trouble with the "easy" puzzles than the "hard" ones the past few days.

I can identify the flags, but the fact that the number of words of each color and number of stripes of each color don't match up is throwing me.

EDIT: NM... figured it out. I think if the top or bottom word were in white, or if the words were of a different length, it would have clicked faster for me. I also probably would have added one more letter to the answer word to make it all match up nicely.

No flag knowledge necessary. That threw me. My son is always having to identify flags for school.

Cool solve method! Took awhile to figure out!

My dork field is on again - my solve choices are going nowhere. Help?

Hmmm, that was pretty straight forward; I wish I would have looked at this one sooner. I thought since no one was getting it that it was way out there, but I guess not. Nice one!

People seem to figure it out when they post. (See [3] and [4])

So, I'm posting to see if that helps....

Edit: Yep. Apparently it did.

It really burns me up when all someone says is how easy that was. Start sprinkling, baby...

[9]LOL. Ok, we'll see if that works...

EDIT: It didn't work. Boy do I feel stupid.

[10]There's tanga numbers in the puzzle - you just need to be on the puzzlemaker's wavelength to see them.

Got it!

salt for those who are probably stuck where I was: don't think in absolute positions, think more relative.

My answer anagrams to Darn Satan. I'm done now

still no clue, any salt?

Ahh--thanks, [13]. There we go.

Tried what I see as "relative", which gets gibberish.

Shorter words would make it easier, but 1,2, or 4 letter words would break it.

Any help, please? This is making me crazy.

Phrases that don't appear to be remotely close:

tad asn ran
tup asr rur
tqb ydn oln

And I still have no idea why there are two yellow words

I stumbled on this one at first by trying to apply letters to the flags. It was the two yellow words that helped me figure out that was the wrong way to start.

Aha... at last. Thanks nrkii

no problem, I owed you one! :)

[12] - took me over an hour to get onto that wavelength.

Can I just start cussing a blue streak now? Finally got it.

[11] same here :) ...

Wow...I got a few scattered letters, guessed at the word, it was right!

Now to backsolve, clearly I got really lucky.

Edit: OK, I see the pattern now. Yeah, the word lengths makes this a lot trickier than it has to be!

it finally made sense when i stopped relating everything to everything else!

I liked this one. Thanks

Thanks [13] Hubby and I were racking our brains over this one last night... clicked this morning!!

nice

I'm posting so the answer should pop into my head any second now. :)

Hmm didn't work...

More salt please?

[33] lol. Colors will help you decide which letters to pick.

Please tell me if this is too salty.

[33] Rather than thinking of the flag colors as 1, 2, 3... think of them as leftmost, middle, and rightmost.

After considering all of the above advice for 40 minutes and trying everything I can think of, I believe the correct answer is 'igiveup'. I hope this isn't too salty. ;)

[35] ah finally. Thanks that was salterific.

now all the other salt makes sense!

[35] Hold my hand through it, why don't you :-)

Thanks. I seriously needed it.

anyone got more salt

[41] For those still trying to solve, you must work on the words in the order of the words listed, not in the order of the flags at the top.

started to do this bass ackwards. placing the bottom into the top. geeze louise! came up with what I thought was a middle eastern name much less wth do I do with that other word.

Darn Satan...
