0 tiger_lily111 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Ok, so before we all start going insane, could you clarify ... Are we looking at 2 lines, or just what's in bold? Thanks! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Ok, so before we all start going insane, could you clarify ... Are we looking at 2 lines, or just what's in bold? Thanks! =) The riddle/word puzzle is contained entirely in the one line in bold. This one line represents a phrase not unfamiliar. Each word or two (generally speaking) of the puzzle corresponds to a letter or two (generally speaking) spelling out the answer. Other descriptors can be thrown in refering to the relation of individual letters. Also, will grade work as we go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 For example might be "eg" or "ie" two curves maybe ( + ) = "o" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 For example might be "eg" or "ie" two curves maybe ( + ) = "o" Part of your first line is relevent. two curves yields "+" so no to that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Wow, I don't think I can even wrap my brain around this and even begin to try and solve it!Please play along. I think/hope this one will start to reveal itself. I'll be answering each correct letter at a time. It's alot easier, of course, to work backwards from the answer.

0 tiger_lily111 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 X - cross, T? (or just an X) in - N back, behind, butt, end for, fore/afore, before example - ex/X, ie/I (eye/aye?), eg-egg -> something else? As per normal I can't see the whole, merely ideas of the parts.

0 plainglazed Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 in = N back for = before 4 = 3? example = are = R? Sorry I missed your post. I type too slowly. N is correct. The rest is not. Good thoughts all, none the less. You're definitely getting the jist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you're understanding is excellent. X and T(ee) often interchange; but not this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thank you. And that leaves me with 2 questions, since I am new to this kind of riddle. 1:Would that spoiler mean the other parts I had were correct? 2:Will the letters be jumbled or in order once solved? If answering is too big of a hint, no need, I can just keep chuggin a long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But previous/before *could* still be good. Now I'm confused(Part of answer from "X") - S - N - (part of answer from "back for example") And one undeterrmined "tidbit" from previous posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 back for = backwards 4 = Px=not or no no to both but, again, good thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
