[Rbud]

got to level 3 and got stuck there ;-)

Stuck there, too - get anywhere yet?

[Hugo_Smith]

Stucked at level 3

[brainisdead]

I thought it was

bystander

but it's not.
You have By.
You have a BIG Ampersand (also known as and).
Make something from that.

[RBS]

Level two is mocking me. There is no single word anagram for those letters. Running out of angles to look at this one.

[Rbud]

#6

I thought it was

bystander

but it's not.

You have By.
You have a BIG Ampersand (also known as and).

Make something from that.

Thanks! Got it!

Actually got through to Level 6 now, hmmm . . .

(the chemical formula for water with "SE" after it.)

[Hugo_Smith]

@RBS

Don't anagram it, just find out what is in what

Still stuck on 3.

EDIT: Thanks Rbud.
EDIT: 4 was clever, and now I'm stuck on 11.

[RBS]

thanks, stuck on 11 as well now.

[Hugo_Smith]

I think I've seen it before, but I can't remember the answer

[PurplePuzzler]

I'm stuck on lvl 3 as well guys. Can somebody help me. I don't get the A*******d hint.

edit: found a hint on nordinho by rbud who as I see is also a member here but still not getting it

"by and" - but it's not a small "and" - what is the opposite of small?

just kinda confused me a bit more, bybig? byhuge? that's not a word. HELP ME PLEASEEE!

[Rbud]

Level 3

I'm stuck on lvl 3 as well guys.

Well, you have

"by and" - but it's not a small "and" - what is the opposite of small?

EDIT:

The opposite of small? L**** - so "by and" + "l****" (any help there?)

[PurplePuzzler]

Well, you have

"by and" - but it's not a small "and" - what is the opposite of small?

editoppsss didn't know there was more coming ok I'll try to put it together now.

edit2: got it now thanks to rbud and RBS! Appreciate it folks.

[Rbud]

aww, are you trying to make me laugh rbud?

Sure, why not?

It's good for the soul, or so they say!

BTW - currently puzzling over level 8 - anyone got a subtle hint for it?

Thanks in advance!
