Hah! Your little letter counts at the top totally helped me out! I think I could have gotten it anyway though, the cluing was very well done.
1st top 100
46, my best ever and it was a total guess from the first two words.
thanks sonjahi... that was all i needed!!!
Googling the first 3 clues helped me with this one.
Woot, personal best at 5th. Took a guess off the first two and the last.
Um, NM
88th !!
"You solved this puzzle in 3 minutes and 17 seconds and were the 99th Tanga member to solve it"...barely!
....thanks for this puzzle....got my strawberry. now I'm a certified Tanga Apprentice
i thought the the little #'s @ the top were a glitch on my screen....
salt? I am stuck between pics 2 and 3, TG me.
I agree with [1]. Not sure if I would have gotten it without that.
Great cluing, duckpond!
Help! Stuck on this 1.
[11], cool!
12th only because I remembered what the little red letters stood for. For those stuck, this is a puzzle that is not phonetically exact. But it's a common enough phrase and close enough phonetically that you should be able to recognize it since you're given the number of letters in each word.
[16] Thanks for the salt. This took over 31 minutes to do. Hard Puzzle! Went and did the OWW while I was trying to figure this out.
hard one, could not have done it without the letter count.
Couldn't solve it until I gave up on my first assumption of what the bird was called in this case. Took me a while.
7 minutes and 47 seconds and were the 187th Tanga member to solve it. Ummmmm.....I don't know about this one. The word/letter count helped, but I still had to take a guess at it and was correct!
Should have mentioned above: Nice puzzle given the letter count. I wouldn't have liked it without that.
gaaaaaaah.... i finally solved it. It's like catching on a bad pun, lol XD
nm
I have no clues to tonight's puzzle's. Any help would b appreciated.
[7] Chill, dude ...
[24] I'll send you a TG.
Really liked it; tough, but solve-able.
Thanks for the help TangaAl! I really feel dumb now. I was almost there and had to take a step back. Stupid bird!
love it!
Sweet! Great puzzle!
didn't notice the letter count; thought it was fairly easy There are only two pics to actually decipher! The first one there's only one really called a plate and it's usually shaped differently And if you use the generic term for bird -how many phrases could possibly end with that/?Thanks duckpond
Woo Hoo, excited that I am getting better at this! Now if I could only stay awake till these things are posted and not have to hit them the next morning!
I swear I thought the first pic was a rice paddy...
Not the best
Agree with [7] - sloppy proununciation, and lots of possible words fit each picture makes this rough.
[7] I appreciate your assertion that you enunciate properly. I pride myself on my own clarity of speech. However, I disagree about the fairness of the cluing. The +D *is* clued by the first letter of the second image. "D" and "T" are both alveolar plosives differentiated only by the amount of "force" used to pronounce them. At the end of English words, especially ones that precede an unrounded vowel, they are often difficult to differentiate.
On a personal note, I prefer the Cryptopix that you have to sound out a little bit. Otherwise answering early and getting bonus points becomes more of a typing test than a solved puzzle. I didn't get in the top 100 here, but that's OK. I found the puzzle entertaining. For me, it was challenging enough and creative enough to warrant a bit of defense.
IMHO, Very nicely clued!
loose pronunciation, wouldn't have got it without help from [7]
At first, I didn't know what "eight cock E" was.....LOL!
You solved this puzzle in 31 minutes and 39 seconds and were the 457th Tanga member to solve it.
This puzzle was really difficult for me, and couldn't have done it without [36]!! Thanks!
... and [7] is gone ...
I enjoyed it - if I'd initially picked the right gender of the bird I'd probably have figured it out sooner.
mweeee mwaaaaah... :P
took me a while since I thought the last word must have been cocky.
