Woohoo! First for the first time! AND second for the first time on Cryptopix! And. . .touched for the very first time? . . .
Good one! I feel like a fortunate celestial body.
[1] Congrats! I still don't have a clue where to start.
nvm got it, your salt helped put me on the right track
Very nice for a first puzzle.
[1] quite an accomplishment...agree with [3]...
Fun puzzle, sonjahi! Take a bow!
Hrm...I thought I was on the wrong track, but then I broke. :/
[2][4][6] Thanks! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.
Nice! The picture in the background is a big clue.
[3] [5] identify the person in the background picture first.
Nice Puzzle - how long it took me was bittersweet :(
Nice puzzle... very straightforward. :)
Are there multiple answers to some of them...because if I'm doing the right thing, I'm lost. :p Happily TG someone with my current answers to see if I'm on the right track.
Whew! All I gotta say is why's it so hard?
[10], that's not a problem---had that right away....
[13] I don't think so - if you're on the right list. You can TG me.
Wow - great puzzle - I should pay more attention next time (no salt here).
[14] It's not that hard, if you just turn the key!
I agree... very impressive first submission and a nice change of pace.
these are my favorite kind of OWW's! very good job!
Great first puzzle, hell just a great puzzle...117th was the best I could do, but enjoyed it----thanks dmlafrance
nice puzzle....thanks....
I was able to solve this off the top of my head. . .younger Tanganoids (say, younger than early 30s) may have to do some research.
Nice puzzle, BTW!
[22] well I am in my 40's but that isn't helping me much. I suppose I am just not as cool as you are. I am not making any headway at all. I tried identifying the photo too but could not figure that our either.
If you're frozen on this, that's OK -- it's just human nature.
Stay focused, and your lucky star will shine a ray of light on the answer. . .
[1] LOL: last sentence.
[14] This is something that Verve actually started when he took over Featuring puzzles, and I think it's a neat idea. Featuring the more... well, let's not say "harder," but rather... shall we say... "complex" puzzles on the Hypercross off nights. It's a neat compromise from a few years ago when we published 2 OWWs a day: one labeled EASY and one labeled HARD.
I'm sorry; on the One Word Wonder difficulty scale of 1-10 this is about a 3. No bizarre leaps of logic or obscure references or extra steps -- just a simple identification and straightforward tangafication.
Note: This is a good thing!
I recognized two of the confabulated phrases. From there I figured out who the picture was. Which lead me to google everything I could , because I don't know most of them. Focused study is the only thing that got me to the answer.
I'm just getting acquainted with this type of puzzle and I think I'm getting close to figuring it out but I'm having trouble getting from 3 words down to 1 word.
[26] That's why I think the word "complex" fits. Especially for puzzles that are, to use a wonky word, recursive.
[23]If you are still having trouble, think of a word for "Female Royalty" and a short form for "Popular Music". Google that and you should find who the picture is.
[26] I agree - I never intended it to be hard. But it's probably a generational thing.
[28] What did you have to do to the listed phrases to get where you are? Do that again.
Jump or Push would have been fun answers
