    4th. Easier than I initially thought. (not salt)

  2. Donimo_pirate_beatlesTomatoDonimo on Aug 03, 2011 07:06 PM

    Amazing puzzle! Really enjoyed.

  3. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Aug 03, 2011 07:06 PM

    Woo-hoo! That was an awesome a-ha! So glad I came over here. What does it say about a Rocketeer crypto if I solve a jebediehard OWW first? lol

  4. Avatar_profile-fpPepperzxo on Aug 03, 2011 07:13 PM

    Not at all what I first thought, which sidetracked me for a long while, since it also revealed three three-letter words. (Anyone focusing on the letters b, j, and u should stop).

    Still, very nice puzzle.

    Took me a bit, but I'm 26th. :)
    One word was same as in Serbian, and that helped. (not salt)

  6. FileRadishBetaPrime on Aug 03, 2011 07:16 PM

    Beautiful puzzle. Took me a while to find the 3rd, which I wouldn't need if I didn't make a stupid mistake after gotten the first two.

  7. FractalTomatodduensing on Aug 03, 2011 07:21 PM

    no idea how to solve....I see nothing MAGIC in it.... I'm stumped

    NM...got it

  8. BjDuckiedrlaura92 on Aug 03, 2011 07:21 PM

    I figured out the first two words and guessed what the final word was.

  9. Stfu_fortune_cookie-12260Bananainsta1234 on Aug 03, 2011 07:22 PM

    Ugh, after watching fisher prices alphabet ZOO, Its given me no help so far in this puzzle

  10. DangermouseAceChefMaddog on Aug 03, 2011 07:24 PM

    Fun puzzle!

  11. FileOnionjaymanmsu on Aug 03, 2011 07:23 PM

    I've got Cow, aIR, and fLu as my words, but the puzzle doesn't work.

  12. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Aug 03, 2011 07:25 PM

    Got the green squares immediately. The yellow and blue took a bit longer.

  13. FileCarrotmmene on Aug 03, 2011 07:25 PM

    [11] - you seem to have tried some different approaches than me. Nothing I am doing seems to work either. Just not able to get my aha moment.

  14. Donimo_pirate_beatlesTomatoDonimo on Aug 03, 2011 07:25 PM

    [11] That's a "G" not a "C". And always remember to read the flavortext.

  15. BjDuckiedrlaura92 on Aug 03, 2011 07:26 PM

    I had hog as my third word for awhile but it turned out to be a more traditional search.

  16. FractalTomatodduensing on Aug 03, 2011 07:33 PM

    At first I was vertically challenged, but then I doubled up and decided to do some diagonal parking. Searching for the right spaces took time.
    Finally, I could put my affairs in order.

    (Yes, this is salt about the solve method.....not some random musings.)

  17. FileOnionjaymanmsu on Aug 03, 2011 07:31 PM

    [14] Got it. Actually started with the right approach but couldn't get the last word. So I tried using the numbers given to index into the nth column of each row and the missing letters would fill in the answer.

  18. Avatar_profileBananatbass on Aug 03, 2011 07:33 PM

    Had the words. Didn't know what to do with them--thanks, [16]!

  19. Pb-101214-cross-eyed-9a.photoblog900_cSailboatwidedeki on Aug 03, 2011 07:38 PM

    Do the colors matter?
    NM Got it.

    [16] Thanks that was the push/salt I needed.

  20. FractalTomatodduensing on Aug 03, 2011 07:36 PM

    [19] No....it simply denotes that each colored line is a different word

    Please read my comment in [16] for more help.

  21. FileCarrotmmene on Aug 03, 2011 07:39 PM

    Very cool puzzle. Fascinating that this arrangement of the alphabet gives the right answer.

  22. FileEggplanthankescu on Aug 03, 2011 07:42 PM

    You are a freaking idiot!! You sucked at this puzzle.
    You solved this puzzle in 35 minutes and 6 seconds and were the 88th Tanga member to solve it.
    ARGGH. For this my dinner is cold?!
    Thanks for the salt [16]!

  23. Nick_dress_blues_2Pancakesbitwisenot on Aug 03, 2011 07:45 PM

    On the bright side this one gave me my duck. I'm not sure I would have thought to proceed along by the prescribed solve method. I just stared at the three words that I did get long enough until I saw something that I tried that happened to be the answer.

  24. Avatar_959_jpg100_200x200RaspberryRocketeer on Aug 03, 2011 08:01 PM

    Nuts. Late again, and just missed the last bonus point. Sigh.

    (Nice puzzle, as always!)

  25. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Aug 03, 2011 08:03 PM

    [22] I sure do enjoy your comments...

  26. FileCarrotcoupongrl77 on Aug 03, 2011 09:31 PM

    lost... I'm not seeing how [11] and [14] could have gotten those letters. This makes me think I've gone down the wrong path from the start. Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction?

    Got it now. Thanks to bitwisenot for helping me see I was going in the right direction to begin with.

  27. Avatar_profileGrapesDougMayhem on Aug 03, 2011 09:26 PM

    My problem for several minutes, was that I wasn't always looking in a straight line. Hope that helps someone.

  28. FilePepperdajagr on Aug 04, 2011 12:19 AM

    Huh. I managed to not get #3 and get the wrong answer for #1 and still solve the puzzle.

  29. 9018_1237595932838_1017425892_754933_3355319_nKiwimaxitem on Aug 04, 2011 12:45 PM

    ...had no idea what to do
    ...figured the answer was __ letters
    ...started typing random answers
    ...got it on the second try!
    believe me, I'm more surprised than anyone... (o_0)

  30. FileOnionquantamm on Aug 04, 2011 06:05 AM

    Using the solve method given, there is another word that can be found for the first slot that both fits the pattern and gives the correct solution. Not to be too salty, but think Cervus canadensis.

  31. Christopher_david_ryan_-_eyeGarlickc6201 on Aug 04, 2011 07:27 AM

    Took me about 2 minutes to solve each puzzle. Should have been here last night.

  32. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Aug 04, 2011 07:30 AM

    [30] Except that it doesn't quite fit the pattern (as [27] pointed out). If you go that way, then [15]'s answer works too and possibly others and then there's more than three and the puzzle becomes more ambiguous. Just keep it straight. :)

  33. Art_land_of_free_eagleEggplantJWillOH on Aug 04, 2011 11:25 AM

    Any last minute salt?
    I thought a fresh look today might help, but I'm just not seeing anything.

  34. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Aug 04, 2011 12:13 PM

    [33] I'll send you a TG.

  35. Chivas-regal-12-200bPotatoPimperio on Aug 04, 2011 12:20 PM

    [34] me too please, i'm lost.

  36. Art_land_of_free_eagleEggplantJWillOH on Aug 04, 2011 01:06 PM

    Thanks [34]! That was fun once I got on the right track and focused on the blocks with the letters instead of the blocks at the bottom.

  37. Avatar_profileWatermelonbaynne on Aug 04, 2011 01:49 PM

    I'm totally confused. I don't even know where to start and I've looking at this on and off again for a couple of hours. Ugh...

  38. SlideuleSailboatDaSaintFan on Aug 04, 2011 05:57 PM

    okay, i'm drawing a complete blank on this... Usually with jeb's puzzles, I have an idea of where to start.. but .. I'm doing the "monkey scratches his head while he looks on dumbfounded" this time around.

    Finally! I finally managed to stare at it and one word just "jumped" out at me.. and then another.. then another...

  39. Avatar1GrapesTechLife on Aug 04, 2011 03:09 PM

    Well, 20 hours later...at least I got it. LOL
