0 Guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 My first guess would be a caterpillar, and my second guess would be a snail, but I dont think my second guess counts until Shakeepuddn says that my first is wrong. I don't know all the rules yet, being new. On that note (to rant in a spoiler), I actually found this website through the puzzles app on iGoogle. I got addicted, so I joined.
