I guessed based on the first word, and it actually worked. Guess it's sometimes best to not think too much.
It took me three minutes but I still snagged 46th.
Good one.
I'm missing something.
BOOOOOOOOM Personal best! You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 16 seconds and were the 49th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 62 points for solving this. Thanks to my better half ;)
Ugh - I'm going back the the john -- I think I left my beer stein there.
Hopester, if you really got that from solely the first word, I'd like to talk to you about picking some lottery numbers.
The first word is what I'm struggling with....(too many subtractions)
Wow! What a wonderful puzzle, Apu!
Cant figure out the second word...
Not seeing it...
NM - Help helped me to read it correctly...
[1] If you guessed it based on a clue from the puzzle, then you figured out the puzzle... congratulations!
[7] Don't do what I did....that's not a very very little glass.
They are NOT your sand/snowmen
[11] now you've got ME confused. I was convinced the math left me with a two letter word but if I need to use the name of a very little glass, then I don't have a word for that first picture that encompasses that... following order of operations, that is.
Ahh... no I was right on the first word - it's not named the little glass... and I had this in my thoughts at one point. Oh, well.
[13] THAT's what I did. And couldn't get the rest. Once I got the first one, I realized what the answer had to be.
No idea why this clicked , but I loved it....7th
sweet - 100th!
Take that 2 letter word and google it - then take a chance on the one you've heard before (which will work if you are a reader of the classics and not an alternative / college radio listener).
wow....thats a stretch.
[14] ummm, it doesn't work if you add what you are adding to the simple picture. Glass is all you need.
[18] I dunno - I really like it, even if I needed help.
[17] I googled that first word and saw the autocomplete, and thought, "no - how do you get there from this?" Should have just gone with it.
Very nice, Apu!
[18] I agree, especially if you're not sure if those are sandmen, snowmen or neither.
[12] emphasized the wrong word.
People are giving you only two stars for Fun...I disagree, Apu. Cryptos like this one are the MOST FUN> 5 stars!
I think there should be more emphasis on the text clue in the last picture!! It is very important for solving the puzzle.
I had the right answer all along but could not convince myself it was correct because I could not come up with a particular word out of the clues.
really? leaves you with a two letter word? I am left with a three letter word - what am I missing?
Got it from the comments, not the picture
[24] Strictly-speaking, you are left with 3 letters that aren't a word by themselves but they sound like a common two letter word.
[12] & [20] did it for me. [24] homophones perhaps?
[26] thanks!
that helped - the real challenge is remembering the possessive adjective as suggested by the words in the last picture.
Brilliant
OMG! I had it all along but just wasn't saying it right...... grrr....!!! Good one!
my first guess was glove monkey!
[20] well i do at least really like the book : )
I liked it!! Although, I agree with [12] the last pic should really say "You made these at the beach".
I had the first and last two words, then just guessed what was familiar.
I don't get where the second word came from according to the puzzle???
I like the math involved to get the first word.
geez... took me 7 friggin minutes... well it was the first time i played and I had to go look at samples... oh well, i figured it out!
Nice!
i loved this one
By the way, possession is 9/10ths of the law (and the second clue)
The only clue you need is that the glove is coated with vaseline on the inside to keep his hands smooth :)
Was on the right track until [12] said my answer was wrong. Long struggle before I figured out I was right all along. Curse you [12] :)
So it was the 1st thing I thought of but not sure where the 2nd word fits in the picture.
first time on the site and I'm completely lost!
Oh - wow - Did NOT think that was the right answer, but there you go! Thanks!

Okay so I walked away and came back later....much later
Not saying I would have gotten this, but it would have been a lot easier if I had realized this was Cryptopix and not One Word Wonder.
