I was almost in a Panic but after remembering my astrological horoscope for today, I reminded myself that this was just a Game.

Now if I could just get George Michael & Madonna out of my head.

This might have been the easiest One Word Wonder ever...

Posted on Tue Aug 21, 2007 07:47 PM |

got the next clue, but I can't find the answer :-(

I'm looking and looking under my rock, but it's just not here!

Posted on Tue Aug 21, 2007 07:49 PM |

Its the seven cardinal sins, but that leads to nothing

Posted on Tue Aug 21, 2007 07:51 PM |

[16] PB, try IMDB.com

[17] Only to eternal damnation.

Posted on Tue Aug 21, 2007 07:52 PM |

SALT
[17] just look for what the sinners leave behind

Posted on Tue Aug 21, 2007 07:53 PM |

[18] been there, done that, can't find it

robrizob could you check your GM for me please?

Figured it out without salt for once. [19] is the way and the light though.

Posted on Tue Aug 21, 2007 08:22 PM |

[22] GM sent.

Fun! Did this while humming "Mr. Bad Example"!

Easy to get the clues, but had to look up the final answer ... never heard of it.

Well done puzzle!

I liked it! The extra step was clever - I was going to be disappointed when I first thought it was just the reference then the clever twist at the end! I did have to look the actual answer up but that was easy when you know what you're looking for.

Im glad you all like it. This is my first attempt at making a puzzle, and I had a lot of fun doing it.

That puzzle was deadly...

Seems like there is both an extra clue and an extra letter in the top row... am I not seeing something there?

doh. Gave up on solving last night when the clue I was getting wasn't a word... then realized that it wasn't a word but was a clue this morning.

Great puzzle! Very clever.

Once I wrote it down and worked through it, the clue was evident. Very nice.

Funny thing is, I was actually using the movie to remember what the various items were. "OK, so there was the lawyer, and the big stabby knife guy, that's two..."

aha, I think this is a good example of salt in puzzle to difficulty ratio, since without knowing you're looking for the cardinal sins and the puzzle deals with the movie seven, I would have no idea how to solve this. With the salt that others give its easy, but the puzzle itself I think is challenging in its vaqueness. That being said neat puzzle Mzblubrd.

Could be a two worder but very unique puzzle and quite challenging, thank you.

[43] I have to disagree. It is obviously a word search, and searching for words reveals what you are searching for - as do many word searches without a word list. Then, it wasn't that much of a stretch to see the next clue and move forward. Those steps are what makes this a One Word Wonder rather than a Warm Up.

Posted on Wed Aug 22, 2007 02:05 PM |

I give up on it! I have tried everything.

Posted on Wed Aug 22, 2007 02:14 PM |

[45] Agreed. Plus, the title clues what to look for.

[46] Do you have an account at BGG (boardgamegeek.com)? If you do, send me a message with what you've got. Even if you don't, you can find "salt" for the puzzle here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/131250/page....

how is that a two word answer?

Posted on Wed Aug 22, 2007 02:52 PM |

I have found all 7 of the words. I have looked up everything. I have looked at the puzzle after finding them. It leads me to nothing.

Posted on Wed Aug 22, 2007 03:30 PM |

oops, double posting.

Posted on Wed Aug 22, 2007 03:30 PM |

mightycross : look for anything left over after finding your clues.

[8 and 44] if you look at how the second clue is worded, it leaves one way to answer the puzzle.

Thanks everyone for the comments -- I have a few warmups Ill send in, and a few ideas for some additional wonders.

Okay... I have solved the word search and have the left-overs. I see two words/names and have one kinda wierd word with two extra letters in front.
Totally lost, have followed all the salt and still nothing. Have been working for about an hour and am getting frustrated that I can't see it! Anyone like to assist?
Thanks!
