    If I have the correct 8 letter words, there is only one way they can go in this. Unfortunately, that means all of my 4 letter words are wrong (except for #*$! and @#%^)

    I have the words but am not sure what to do after that.

    Edit: Aha!

    Fun one. I didn't get all the words, but I got enough to solve it.

    [3] What do you do when you have them and fill them in the puzzle?

  7. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Apr 01, 2008 12:08 PM

    [6] first, read the clues more carefully, then follow the first part of the instructions.

  8. Avatar_profileBananatrevelyan on Apr 01, 2008 12:16 PM

    [7] Still not seeing it

  9. FilePeppercyncat on Apr 01, 2008 12:20 PM

    [8] Don't forget to read the title.

  10. Avatar_profileBananatrevelyan on Apr 01, 2008 12:22 PM

    I did. TG help?

  11. Final_5_18_10_v1Pancakesdragontrainer on Apr 01, 2008 12:23 PM

    [10] It clicked for me when I mentally inserted a comma after the first word of the title.

  12. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Apr 01, 2008 12:25 PM

    The initial clues will tell you that you've done too much in one direction.

    Now, take a listen to your answers - is there anything about them that relates to the first part of the title?

  13. Avatar_profileBananatrevelyan on Apr 01, 2008 12:28 PM

    Yeah but how do i figure out the order?

  14. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Apr 01, 2008 12:28 PM

    I found that listing the clues (in order) works much better than trying to fit them in the crossword grid.

  15. TangaPotatoTopherMarsh on Apr 01, 2008 12:29 PM

  16. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Apr 01, 2008 12:30 PM

    [13] they are already in order...

  17. Final_5_18_10_v1Pancakesdragontrainer on Apr 01, 2008 12:36 PM

    There are not any hints (I don't think) below..

    ------

    I thought this puzzle was pretty good overall. That said, am I the only one that doesn't care for intentionally placed red herrings in puzzles? They tend to take what would be enjoyable puzzles for me and makes them tedious and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    Not that anyone need care, but in my opinion, if you have a puzzle that is good enough without red herrings (and this one would have been) it may be best to leave the red herrings out.

    ---End Rant---

  18. FilePepperVerve640 on Apr 01, 2008 12:50 PM

    To me, it isn't really a red herring...it does provide confirmation...

    I solved it much faster with the 'red herring'...

  19. FileGarlicspamwise on Apr 01, 2008 12:54 PM

    [17] I'd agree with [18]. I had to adjust my thinking to fit the mold.

    I feel your pain, though. Gratuitous fish is hurtful. I didn't mind this tangent.

  20. Bunny91Garlicheatherlouwho on Apr 01, 2008 01:29 PM

    Hint: It's not who you think it is.

  21. FilePeppercyncat on Apr 01, 2008 01:20 PM

    [20] The 4th word in the final clue is key.

  22. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Apr 01, 2008 01:24 PM

    [20] because it's wrong?

    *ducks*

    seriously, TG me in the next 5 minutes with your answer and I'll tell you if it is spelling or something else. (5 minutes, because then I leave work, and won't be able to check here for an hour or so)

  23. FilePancakesArnott (Tanga Admin) on Apr 01, 2008 02:21 PM

    Neat.

  24. FileEggRPardoe on Apr 01, 2008 02:51 PM

    Finally....had some words wrong which is what threw me for a while (a long while).

  25. Joerg_vegas_april_2006__21_AppleMrsBonsai on Apr 01, 2008 03:55 PM

    Woohoo! Got it :)

  26. FilePancakestempus42 on Apr 01, 2008 06:19 PM

    In addition to the nitpicks noted by the author himself in his explanation of the answer, I would also contend that the letter in question for the 4th answer does not *really* fit the requirement....

  27. FileTomatobcgrote on Apr 01, 2008 08:34 PM

    **GASP** You mean Shakespeare was WRONG?!?!?!!??

    LOL!

  28. FileGarlicHope2002 on Apr 01, 2008 09:09 PM

    [27] No, read the scene and the answer above matches the stage direction and what Cinna says.

    [17] I hate puzzle that depend on red herrings. I solved this one without it, pretty easily.

  29. Img_0189Egggst on Apr 07, 2008 03:25 PM

    outstanding

  30. FileEggj15bell on Dec 13, 2008 11:03 AM
