For example: Network-vs-Laptop could be Group Vs Stand alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 psykomakia Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Nope. Look for something that makes this list of words unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Molly Mae Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) How long should I wait before offering a hint? Probably at least another day. I know what the two word phrase is, but I am uncertain what method is used to choose which word in each "battle" is used.

0 psykomakia Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm sorry but I can't wait! Despite being a list of coupled words, there are three unique sets of words being used. I hope I didn't just make it too easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 psykomakia Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thank you so much to whoever from BrainDen backed my oh! mega-puzzle book! (see links in puzzle for details). I don't know who, but I thank you. There are only five "Early Backer" books left for the discount price of $13 (which includes shipping).

0 superprismatic Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Perhaps I should play nice like Molly Mae does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 psykomakia Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yes, but why? How can you abbreviate the (first half of the) title, and why are the resulting six letter important? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Molly Mae Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Perhaps I should play nice like Molly Mae does. I just haven't figured out the how of it. EDIT: Nevermind. I'm fairly certain I got it. I noticed the letters PA occur together quite a bit (including in the title). As soon as the title hint was pointed out, I got SC (and then RK is pretty obvious after that). After that, it's just a game of RK, PA, SC. LZ and SP have to stay home sick today. Take the last letter of each winner to get the secret phrase. Nice puzzle. It really had me stumped.

0 psykomakia Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Awesome! Good work. (Though the puzzle is flawed if you got the answer before the logic.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Molly Mae Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Awesome! Good work. (Though the puzzle is flawed if you got the answer before the logic.) I wouldn't say it was flawed. Dorothy could see Oz from a realm off...but getting there was the puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
