Not your typical crypto......

Punctuation or no? I know it, but I can't get any version to take.

Is the first word with an ending e?

i hate these where they are obvious but it's either a spelling problem or punctuation.
TrinSF

It *should* have an e, but who the hell knows, clearly there's something odd about the answer.

with different spellings, several punctuations that may or may not be there and no way to know how far to take the "...", there are just too many possible "correct" answers.
TrinSF

Yes, slog, I get that. Done that. Still not working. And how finished? I know twice as much as in the puzzle.

ugh!!!!!!!!!
like I said before. puuhleese.
thanks [12]
how the hell did you know to do that?

I've just tried at least half a dozen variants on the solution, and none of them is taking.

[12] I tried that, still won't take it

No punctuation. Spellings are all obvious. Phrase is short.

three words
slog

[16] from [1].
TrinSF
Posted on Sat Nov 15, 2008 07:14 PM |
12, then there must be a non-canonical spelling.
Markel
Posted on Sat Nov 15, 2008 07:14 PM |
OK - here's the big hint: ignore all the pictures.
dajagr
Posted on Sat Nov 15, 2008 07:15 PM |
[18] ...without doing anything else, such as entering *anything that was written in the actual image*, apparently.
Sorry, really frustrating approach.
slog
Posted on Sat Nov 15, 2008 07:15 PM |
[23] Nope. All three words are very common.

Why would you need punctuation? You just need to fill in the dots. For all of you that are complaining it is more likely that are just putting in the wrong answer.
Good puzzle. Pretty easy if you have heard this one.
TrinSF
Posted on Sat Nov 15, 2008 07:54 PM |
That's tacky. For everyone struggling [24] is the best hint here. EDIT: I agree, [21] even better than [24].

picture 3 1st row is NOT a Scratch,
pictures 3 2nd row is NOT a fall,
picture 2 3rd row is THE SAME AS above...

[28] No, 21 is exactly the best hint.

If you just get elliptical, you will succeed...
knights23

maybe the best hint would be an answer to the question from [3]. plenty of references on-line each way which only adds to the confusion.
Markel
Posted on Sat Nov 15, 2008 07:41 PM |
[35] I found that it doesn't matter if you use the word that ends with the e or not, since none of those words go into the answer.

Can't see the forest for the trees -- No combination works...

OMG - spent forever trying different combinations of spellings - when all that's needed is the end of the rhyme.........
AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I assume it was done this way because the alternative was much longer. We've had this sort of puzzle before, but the ellipsis at the end doesn't seem to be enough of clue. Maybe three blanks would have been better.

this is ridiculous, not a true crypto in my opinion.

Excellent puzzle steph_frolin. Very well clued, and the ellipsis at the end provided just what I needed to solve this in 17 seconds. Not the traditional crypto, but fun none the less!

Thank you [39]. Not a crypto. Here's tje Tanga instructions... Cryptopix puzzles are solved by putting the pictures together to form a word or phrase

I think we've been through this with the multi-word wonders: sometimes puzzle makers want to try something new and don't want to be constrained by old conventions. I, for one, welcome our new puzzle masters.
Probably should have gone with 3 blanks at the end though.

Wow. Never thought getting run off stage in an Opera would EVER help me with a Crypto. Fun times!
Also glad I didn't have to type the whole thing...

[46] I don't mind when people do something different, so long as it's obvious what that something different is. I tried umpteen variants of the whole rhyme before finally catching in that it was just the missing words.
shar

still doesn't work. I hope the solution is viewable later.

[48] When I saw the three dots, the missing words is what I tried first. If that was wrong, then try something else.
Steph, I liked it (probly because I thought it was easy).
