Nice, knew them all without Google for a change.
Nice. Skipped the first one (although I should have known it) but got it from the others.
Great puzzle. I wish I'd got to it before the hypercross. That held me up a little.
Just missed the 100 mark. And I rarely get thw OWW's.
To me, a reprieve from the tough puzzles this week.
Good one Philana.
Got it after the first four. The answer is one of my favorites...
[5] See, I always get caught up in the decoding and never think to look at the letters to see if I can figure out where it's going. I probably could have done the same if I had.
Very nice puzzle!!
"Real butter!"
The puzzles were super easy tonight....all three of them. Never tanga on Saturday night....are they easier on certain nights of the week?
Very nice one.
Is it wrong when I knew the final movie from just the first two letters? :)
fun :)
7 seconds to solve. And I wasn't here at 7pm PST... poop...
nice one :)
You are a freaking genius!! You solved this puzzle.
You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 28 seconds and were the 251st Tanga member to solve it.
Forgot the last step. nice puzzle. :)
35 Minutes and 40 seconds... But i did take a shower in that time... hehe.
Just a reminder... Salt should provide clues to the solution method, not to the answer. Blatant clues to the solution itself are inappropriate and unappreciated.
I have no idea why I can't solve this one!
Oh gosh, that was clever.
[9] It is often - but not always - the case that the Cryptopix and the One Word Wonder will be "easier" on the nights where we also publish a new Hypercross. Or more to the point, on the alternate nights where there is no new Hyper, the Crypto and OWW will often be more "difficult."
You solved this puzzle in 6 seconds
qif... no ads please.
fun puzzle
Well, I first tried the clue plus color, then the clue, and then finally "solved" it with JUST the color.
Totally missed the last one. Google even kept trying to correct me as I saved each letter in the Google search box! I was like, "No! That's not the right letter!"
Easy peasy.........
Am pretty sure I have the right answer, but it would not accept the answer. Tanga seems to be telling me "I'll give you the points when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!"
"The miracle food of high-energy plankton gathered from the oceans of the world."
[30] Are you taking the word you get from the puzzle and going one step further with it (keeping the theme in mind)?
I think I'm going to be ill... do I look pale?
