A fine puzzle
Tanga was slow to load tonight. 13 minutes in and I still managed to make 11th. Wow! That aside, it was a very fun puzzle. Thanks, Bargellos!
pretty straightforward but fun.
no idea :( i'm really not good at owws
Did anyone else have trouble even ACCESSING the Tanga website? I kept getting 504 Bad Gateway. It was 9:15 before I could access the site at all!
Nice puzzle, though, bargellos! I totally went the wrong way first. I like your method better. :)
[4] Becky, do you think you have all the correct 4-letter words that describe those images?
[5]That's what I got also. Then when I got it I couldn't even load the Crypto!
[5] Yes, Sonjahi, it was global. I couldn't get here from 6:30 until now.
I couldn't get in for awhile either ..got 5th though. Nice puzzle.

Got this one from the thumbnail. I had plenty of time to do so, since it took several minutes to load the puzzle - after waiting 10+ minutes just to refresh the main page.
[5] Yes, but I figured that's what ended up helping me make it under 100 on both puzzles.
Nice puzzle even though the site had a major problem.

I'm very excited..........Never have been in top 100 on the oww. Always tough for me for some reason........
17 mins to access the website... 11 sec to find the oww... Tanga problems are getting really annoying
Everyone: There was a note on the Facebook page saying Tanga was down but would be up soon. That was posted around 7pm PST.
And now there's a message saying Tanga is back up.
[6] probably not :(
Good puzzle and fun. Required logic, and not simply guessing the method.
[15] thank you for the info, I will have to check their facebook page more often. Personally I used downornot.com
[15] Interesting. Usually Tanga's posts show up on my wall but they aren't there. And I don't see it on their wall right now either. Did they post it and then retract it?
Tanga's announcements are still on my Facebook wall. On the Tanga page is an apology, with a link to the blog on this site.
Dang, one of the few times I get a OOW and I had given up on getting on the website. Thought the site had totally crashed, then gave it one last try 20 minutes in. Missed top 100.
I saw Tanga is back and running on mine. Never thought to even go there.
I never checked it until I saw other people did.
I didn't see a Tanga post on FB either. And I usually see them right away.
[20][23] I wonder if there is more than one Tanga facebook page or something? I'm glad someone else isn't seeing them either, soccer_ref! :)
Good puzzle. Thought the second one was "leaf" for a while and that slowed me up.
At first, I had the pictured verb for the first word. Then the second word subliminally convinced me to use the Italian/Spanish for the first. That slowed me a bit in getting the final pattern. Nobody to blame but myself.
Nonetheless, good puzzle,.bargellos.

Happy with that since I was 45 min. late getting here!
[26] I did the same thing with the Italian word my first run through. Seemed logical, at first.
[26], [27] Got here late also....so you are saying that the Italian word is NOT the correct word to use for the first one? That was what I was doing also. Maybe need to rethink this through.
A look inside my head: If I wanted an Italian word, wouldn't I give a hint that I wanted a word that's Italian? Without such a hint, wouldn't it make more sense that I'm looking for an English word? I hope this helps.
Thanks Google
[24] I see only one real Tanga.com page in Facebook.
Could we talk salt and not fault?
I wasn't getting any feed from Tanga on FB until I went to the bottom of the home page (where you can see everybody's wall posts) and selected edit options, then selected to get feed from everything. FB changed everybody's settings, without informing them. So if it appears as if your FB friends have gotten a life, they haven't... you just aren't able to see their wall posts.
[26][27] Italian word? TG, please.
[29] In all fairness, that first picture could just as easily be the verb as well as the noun. I saw it as the noun, but partly because I knew what the 3rd and 4th pictures were, and recognized the puzzle "format" being used here. Which is how I was sure I had the 2nd picture, too.

Too bad I get off work at 7 :( I probably could've made it to top 100 with this one, but I guess today wasn't a good day to login on-time
[29] No need to explain yourself -- you did everything in the obviously correct way. That is exactly why I said "Nobody to blame but myself." I wasn't blaming you; I was blaming me.
I am a genious. Thanks
ps. I first put leaf for the second one... It's not leaf
You are a freaking genius!! You solved this puzzle.

[34] Thanks to all who sent me a TG. Truth be told, I had the old post-and-solve... except it didn't happen until I crawled into bed last night :) For some reason, I thought some of you were using the Italian word for POUR, which made no sense.
Just picture the first without the bottle - a nice glass of merlot.
stuck on the last one....the answer.
Me too Sajimo..."pink" is not the answer...LOL.
i think you are my favorite puzzle creator - i had part of it yesterday and wasn't able to give it more thought
