Daphne (daphnesm) | 937 comments Is there a link to solve the puzzle like the first word search?


message 53: by Karsyn (new)

Karsyn  (imzadi) No, I guess not. So sorry. :( Puzzle mod made them and put them in a thread to be posted. I just posted it as is. I went and looked at both threads and there wasn't any link to another site for them. :(

I think she's out of town today too. I guess using the method she described would be best, or printing it out and sending a photo of that, or if you can draw lines and such on your computer (I know Win 10 can) then perhaps that way?

Sorry!

See Karsyn's Encrypted Quotes Hints/Tips post for her quick and easy way she does encryption puzzles.

Please note that the link the Puzzle Mod had provided before no longer works and can not be found on that site at all. :(

The object of this game is to link two words together that are usually used in conjunction with one another one letter at a time.

Steal Coins

For this game, try to connect STEAL to COINS one shamrock, er, letter at a time. Each row between STEAL and COINS can only have one letter changed from the one below it or the one above it. See if you can connect the two. Once you have, send Mod account a private message with a list of words connecting STEAL to COINS.


*click on image for larger size*

This puzzle is worth 4 leprechaun coins. You can get 1 bonus coin if you can solve it in less than 9 steps (number of shamrocks on the image).

*You have 24 hours from when the puzzle is posted to PM the moderator account with the answer to the puzzle*


As a Reminder, ALL books need to be completed by tomorrow to count for Leprechaun Coins. If you are still working on the LRPG but not focused on coins, you can still work on those books for participation in RPG. To gain more coins you can still answer Questions and give Recommendations through the Leprechaun Read-a-Thon through tomorrow. No posts after the 1st will count for coins. Coins must be deposited into the Coin Counter thread to count for being earned. You may deposit coins through the 4th.

The mod called Conoulty
Who was once known as Ryan
Hiding from Irish roots
She was tryin' and tryin'

But the leprechauns knew
That is why they came here
To find their lost queen
The one that they hold dear

They begged and they pleaded
For Renee to come home
She finally agreed
And has reclaimed her throne

But to rule two domains
Would be too much to bear
So only one crown
Is she able to wear

So sadly she stepped
Down from NBRC
Moderator for us
She will no longer be

She said "Tell them all
this is not a goodbye
I'll come back to visit
I'll stop in to say hi"


=============================

No Puzzle Today
Just a sad and fond farewell to the Rhyming Mod.
(Renee came up with all the clever Riddles!)
You'll be missed as a Mod, don't forget us as we won't forget you!
