I guess later is now already! Stuck on 8, 11, and bonus. And only half convinced of 15.

LOL at me talking to myself? Or that I missed 11? 😉 Got 11!

Woohoo!

#16 got me going!

Got all but 4, 7, 9, 15 and the bonus. Seems like the answers come easier if I make a list.

Rusty

FOAS, my LOL was following your original post with your count-down. I thought that was very cute. For some reason it posted after your second comment, which made absolutely no sense. So I deleted it. :-)

Rox - LOL!

I still have to figure out 9 and the bonus, and I'm not entirely sure my answer for 15 is right. Got everything else though. Thanks, Jasdip!

Got 9! Still need 4, 7, 15 and the bonus.

Rusty

I still need a few. 8 and 9 and not too sure of my answers for 7, 15 and 17.

Still need 8, 12, and 20. And the bonus. Maybe while I wait for All Creatures Great and Small, I’ll take yet another look. Maybe if I try to work through one with DH, we will get some together.

Happy Valentine's Day, Brainiacs! I still don't have the bonus....anyone have any good hints? Also, I think I know what 9 SHOULD be, but the funky font in the first word is throwing me. This isn't one of those pig latin deals again, is it? : )

I don't have a clue as to the bonus, which makes me think it's going to be something so simple I'll wonder at my own denseness.

And the funky font in the first word in 9 is what headed me in the direction of my answer for it.

I'm still questioning 4 and 7, too. My answers for them are pretty far-fetched.

Rusty

💕to you, lettersatoz🤠

I don’t think I have the bonus either. Well, I have an answer but it seems too simple.

I’m pairing up the words and throwing in the direction they’re printed in. Yep, too simple. I’m sure there is a much cleverer answer.

Ixnay to the pig latin. IMO

No pig Latin. The answer is very clear, once you get it. 15 - does anyone feel like it’s missing a word? Just wondering if I’m good or should keep going.

For #9 lettersatoz, think of a golf hole with no doglegs but heavy bush on both sides of a skinny fairway. 😁

FOAS, 15 maybe it’s missing a three letter word but I think that could just be thrown in.

Sounds like we’re on the same page. So I’m still just missing 8 and bonus.

And Rox, was that golf hint supposed to help lettters?! 😂

Eek, was it that bad?😳

eta Just re read my comment. Oh my!

😆

rox and I have the same answer for 9 then. Not sure if foas does.

rusty, I think 4 and 7 are pretty straightforward. For 7, focus on what the top word is over..

Agree re: 15, and glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t have the bonus!

I'm trying to think of a good hint for 8 for foas. Hmmm..... I suppose just focus on the first size of the word, and then the second size of the word. That's the.... gist of it, anyway.

It shrank? lol

I still do not have #9 but think i have the rest.

Not sure of 15, and think the form of the word may be different. Not sure if there should be an extra word. I could be totally wrong.

Here you go!! S.O.B. if you're not ready yet :-)

Bonus........Wears down

Foas, that’s the ’first size’ and the ’second size’ of it. (I’d have said length instead of size, but I think we’re already treading on dangerous territory…)

Jasdip said she posted the solution but I don't see it?

I do have #9 however but not the bonus, as usual.

The title says 'solution', but I don't see it, either.

Rusty

Ah! Thanks letters!!!

Ok jasdip I’m ready for you to really post the solution now. Even though my answer for the solution is pretty weak; I’m giving up on that one.

Where’s Jasdip?!

But I did come up with an idea for the bonus so all’s not lost with this game delay!

Jasdip! Are you playing mind games with us?

Rusty

actshesmissingion

utttttttts

@Jasdip -- FOAS is talking to himself again....I think you better come save us with the answers!

(Foas, what's your thought for the bonus? The suspense is starting to get to me now.)

Hey, you guys don't see the answers??? I posted them last nite. I c/p from it, so here it is. WEIRD!!!!

LOL you guys!!!

Whew - got them all except for the bonus. Wears down....huh....I suppose that was simple enough...I guess we all over-thought it.

Thank you, Jasdip!!!

Got ’em all, including the bonus!

(did you get my second one?)

Okay, got them all. Even the bonus but I thought it had to be way more clever than that.

That was suspenseful, Jasdip. Glad you are okay.🤠

FOAS, I think I got your second one.😁

(technically it doesn’t need the s)

FOAS your second comment quiz was terrific!

I overthought several of them! ! I thought my answers were too simple to be right. Guess I need to stop thinking so much and go back to the word games.

Oh, I had 'open book' for 12 and nothing for the bonus.

Come on Wednesday!

Rusty

LOL - foas, I didn't get your second one til just now. hahaha....

Needs the S, right?

Okay, I give up🧐

I read it as You Tease! No s necessary as there is more than one T.

What is the solution?

Very close. Teasin’ us.

Haha, very good! Love it. 😅

I never did get #9. So simple but i didnt see the ’straight’ part. How did you all know to put that word in there? I thought #15 was ’Over the Worst’. Made that one different from what it was supposed to be. Had ’Open Book’ for 12 and think that also works. For once I did get the bonus with no difficulties.

The word ’and’ was written with straight lines. It was a ’straight and’.

The word ’path’ was narrow.

Straight and + narrow path.

Straight and narrow path.

I never got back to the puzzle or hints, so I was so happy to see the solution! Thanks, jasdip 🙂

Got it now, roxsol, thank you. My brain would not process what that crazy ’and’ was supposed to be.
