0 bonanova Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Congratulations to Nikyma and Nayana for getting a ton of correct answers. ;) I had thought [29] would be the last to go, but Nayana just cracked it. I've decided not to post the solutions on the first post in order to let others continue to guess. The solution words will just stay [for now] in the spoilers. When all the words have been found, I'll edit them into the OP. Great job everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have a request: can you post the list with correct answers in a hidden spoiler so it would be easier to try and work on ones that have not been solved yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 It should be my name next to donkeys number 14 Hi YS ... Yes, donkeys was your guess. But since it was not the solution word it doesn't have a name by it. The names in bold guessed the correct word. The words in light blue [donkeys and others] are words already suggested and needn't be tried again. Sorry for the confusion about that. Keep trying!

0 bonanova Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have a request: can you post the list with correct answers in a hidden spoiler so it would be easier to try and work on ones that have not been solved yet? I can do that, but let's be sure what you want: [1] In the OP, the words with a user name in bold have been solved. If that's all the info you want, you can check there, I'll keep that current. [2] If you want to see all the found words themselves as an aid to get the others, I can put them into a spoiler. That will give me two posts to keep current, and the spoiler post will get buried. Ah ... I can put the spoiler into the OP. So, either one is easy to do. Do you want [1] or [2]? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
