I'm glad to see the Puzzlethon didn't use up all the good puzzles! This one was quite cool.

Fun! I'm glad I got it from working it out and not just guessing because the method was cute.

42nd?!? Sheesh. It's been quiet out here. Well, it sounds like the first 10 are set, so I'll jump in. Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

I know when it's two hours in, and there are 14 comments, that's a puzzle I shouldn't even bother trying.

too easy or too hard?

Fun puzzle! I sorta figured it out, then guessed the rest. Darned if I can backsolve, but I'll be interested to see the official solution.

By way of SALT,

The method is all right there. You'll know when you're on the right track.

How do you sorta figure it out? No, wait, don't answer that. (But seriously... It's not like you jump through hoops to find like the first three letters and then go to an anagram site to get the rest. If you've found the first letter, you've found them all.) But, I repeat, don't answer. This board has been pleasantly saltless for the most part. It's nice for things to be quiet for a change.

very very nice puzzle. Clean method that we haven't seen before. Very pretty indeed. From the sounds made by these comments, I'm not alone in thinking that.

I figured out the method in about ten seconds, but colors, people, colors...

Very straight-forward puzzle. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get going, but once I did, it didn't take me very long to come up with the answer. Definitely like puzzles where everything is consistent.

[16] leadfoot: too hard. I never have a problem with too easy. Too easy doesn't make me feel like a dumbass.

Then go for it, (unless you're colorblind) because this one was quite refreshing and there was so little blogging about it because most people didn't need any salt (only a couple requests on BGG...)
