Very nice. Thanks for the new puzzle!

[Arnott usurping] Hey, Gang, here's a link to a bonus game:

Meh

Wait, this says puzzle #2. Did I miss puzzle #1 somewhere? I thought tonight was the grand unveiling?

I for one enjoyed the puzzle. I hope to see it survive past the beta phase.

Do we get points for solving?

[3] puzzle #1 http://www.tanga.com/wntw/10

[4] 5 Tanga Points per Words in the Weeds puzzle

Thanks, was fun!

Hmm, interesting puzzle.

Well, I actually liked it a lot after I realized that there were categories and "hints." That made it much more fun to solve, as well as easier.

Only criticism at the moment would be the massive amounts of clicking I did back and forth to go through the letters. Made my finger tired, I might have been clicking due to my first sentence as well, since I was trying to create words from tons of random letters!

Overall: FUN!!

[9] I like the mouse..............

I agree with [8] that this was fun. There's a bit of a learning curve here. In my haste to solve the puzzle, I didn't fully read the tips at the bottom saying to use the keyboard. That made it easier, but the SKIP option made it even better. I spent most of my time solving each word before moving on. I actually solved the first one that way.

One small thing I notice is this: when refreshing the page, it shows me the link to START FINDING WORDS again, leading me to think it didn't save it. But when clicking it, it showed my results.

Got the first 5 before I saw the category...last 2 were easier.

[8] "Hints"? Was there something more than the category name?

I enjoyed this one.

I gotta say... this isn't as fun as the regular puzzles. it's just guess work, not a mind bender

Thanks [9]. I finally read the PRO TIP at the bottom!!

Once I figured out how to solve it, I liked it a lot! Nice job!

I love this game. Although I think it should have a cheat option. Where it reveals one letter to people like me who had no idea on some of them. :)

Nice new game!

I agree [18] but maybe after 24 hours like the other puzzles. I like these so far. Are there just 2 up tonight?

Thanks [5], found it and finished it. That last word on puzzle #1 was a doozy.

Enjoyed this.

LOVE this thanks! I think this will be one I try to complete all the time!

Not too shabby. What's next?

Enjoyable puzzle, interesting format! Very cool when your first guess pans out.
I think word #7 has two possible answers... if you start with the intended answer, and change the 3rd letter to an E, it fits the category!

That was fun.

oops.. there was a category? i completely missed it... and i can't refresh and see it either. :-/

cool

I solved it, so that's always good, but i like looking for clues and connections. maybe there could be be some connection with the words and #7 could be the word that connects them.

Thanks, that was fun!

This really doesn't seem all *that* fun...

On a side note though, I would LOVE if we could see all the letters at once. perhaps have the non-selected letters shown in a smaller size below the ones you have selected.

well, I'll be a monkey's uncle, that was fun.

so now what?

Well...I WAS going to bed...but after solving 2 of these, I'm ready for more! ;-) I see a link for a "bonus puzzle," so I'll try that; but, if that's a bust, it's pillow time for this guy. Hope I don't see puzzles in my sleep! Thanks again for the fun...AND the ongoing chance at winning a prize!

Note: First post, above, says, "[Arnott usurping] Hey, Gang, here's a link to a bonus game:
http://www.tanga.com/wntw/10" ... not correct. That's just the link for puzzle #1, which I guess IS a bonus if you started here w/ puzzle #2...otherwise, we all get to wait for #3 to come out. Till then, take care, "puzzled Tanganites!" :-P

Kudos to you. Word puzzles are my personal favorite, and this is a nice fresh approach. However, cycling through the letters is unnecessarily tedious. I think you should just show all four choices for each letter in a column. I wrote them down that way anyway to speed the solving. It levels the playing field for those of us with no short term memory.

fun game!

I'd like to use my mouse instead of the arrow keys. Please make that change. :)

[25] An E in the third position would also change the "something smelly" answer to a viable alternative! (though two words)

I also do not see the hints... all I see is the category. I'm using FF 9.0.1, maybe the hints don't show up in my browser? Is it a bug?

FUN!!!!

LOVE THIS GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!

ENJOYED THE GAMES! WAITING FOR MORE

THAT WAS FUN!! NEED MORE

I like it a lot better than OWW! I feel like I have a much better chance of solving more of these.

I like the new game! It's so interesting how some of them seem to hit you immediately, but you have to work harder for others. Keep them coming!

That was decent... Would prefer for the words to be united somehow by a theme, but I suppose that's design space for submitters to explore. Thanks for something new!

Okay, that was really fun! Who else had the screen minimized and didn't realize there was a CLUE for each word? Okay, just me, then? Well, it did make it more challenging. Hey, at least I figured it out for the bonus game!

I would also LOVE if we could see all the letters at once and have the non-selected letters shown in a smaller size below the ones you have selected. Now I am doing that on paper and it is tedious to copy it all down each time.
I LOVE word games. thanks for adding one!!!

Something you pick and something bad for you were hard enough, but a weapon required google and randomly entering letter combinations in the search until something worked. Never heard of it and I don't think proper nouns are fair.
