and also need help for the center of 21 please

[nin_man]

I am accusing donaud of not sleeping, ever.

Left my laptop at home today (whoops) but I have all the yellow words except 25. All I have opened up in 25 is a*** r*** and since LSD is not the next word I'm stuck there.

[andy20066]

got the center for 21 and the one above the center but now stuck any help please

[nin_man]

In 21, I have a good hint...for _____ ___ ______ ____ ___ to poop on.

Also, think Henson.

All I have opened up in 25 is a*** r*** and since LSD is not the next word I'm stuck there.

Thanks for the Henson hint, nin_man. From a*** r*** you get c***** a***, and from that, two sources of c***** a***.

[nin_man]

Ah hah, I thought I had tried that already. Thanks!

[goes4baroque]

Happens to me all the time. I'm a cross-over from another forum (one which ISN'T, unfortunately, embracing this puzzle), and had used plenty of your hints to fill in the blanks - felt it was time to reciprocate!

[Vember]

nin_man... Vember... where ARE you !!??

Aww, hehe - nice to be missed. Long day at work. Just got home, ate dinner.... and now to bed, 'cause I go in early tomorrow, hooray -- thanks for all the help in this thread, you guys. I'll see what I can solve tomorrow, if y'all haven't already cracked the whole thing!

[EscapeGirl]

Had to dig through this thread and use some hints (THANK YOU EVERYONE!). Now I only have to open up panels 22, 23, an 24. But I have LOADS of blanks still in the other panels. Lots of work ahead of me. Just wanted to say thanks to those who have posted in this thread. And I know that I'm behind most of you, but if I can help at all, let me know!

To everyone playing the game:

I've had a few questions about the meta-clues and solving the game and wanted to give a little more info about that.
1. Once all of the meta-clues are uncovered, the status in the corner will change to say "meta-puzzle unlocked"
2. You do not need to uncover all of the answers in every grid to solve the meta-puzzle.
3. Once the meta-puzzle is unlocked, the answer can be guessed from any grid. The puzzle checks all answers input against the meta-puzzle answer once you are at this level.
4. A successful guess of the meta-answer will change the message in the corner to say "meta-puzzle is solved". (Sorry, not too exciting of a finale!)

You guys are cruising through this challenging puzzle at an impressive rate! I'll be interested to see who can get the meta-puzzle solved...it's a bit fiendish.

Love to hear any and all feedback about the puzzle. I'm always trying to make the next one better.

[nin_man]

These are without a doubt some of my favorite games that get posted here. My feedback is pretty much "keep 'em coming"

I do sort of hate that it only works in Firefox, mostly because I use Chrome, but I'll get over that. It runs really slowly on my home laptop though, like it takes ten seconds for a correct guess to show up and then another five or so for the stars animation to finish. I chalked that up to it being x64, but I did want to throw that out there in case it was an easy fix for you or me.

Crank,

I agree with nin_man - these games are undoubtedly my favorites. I know I can count on spending HOURS a day working on the solutions when a new one comes out.

There are three improvements that I can think of for the game.
1.) Get rid of the star animation. While it's a nice touch, it also adds quite a bit to the time it takes for getting from a correct answer to working on another answer. This just may be a personal preference, but I figured I would put it out there.

2.) Find a way to integrate multiple-browser support for the game. Having the ability to play on IE or Chrome (my browser of choice) would be really nice.

3.) Do something with the "hints" functionality. There are times when there are a bunch of people that are working on the same pane and can't get a fairly difficult/obscure answer where this could come in handy - and make the game more appealing to more users without sacrificing the difficulty of the puzzle that most of us enjoy.

All-in-all, the game is fantastic. These improvements are really nitpicking points and not serious flaws with the game. Thanks for all of your work on these puzzles - and keep them coming.

need help on 25 the word after the one that comes from 20

[nin_man]

Which of the words from 20?

For the one after the two-word answer think giant trees. The speedbike scene from Return of the Jedi was filmed there.

For the one after the one-word answer, let's just say I thought that linking word was dogwood.

[andy20066]

the two after what an old man would smoke
