ReplyDeleteI've been trying to do that. That's why I tried where they lived ....... I think my brain hurts :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to take a break. I'm still on 24 - maybe when I come back the title will mean something to me:).
ReplyDeleteAnd someone please give PurpleLogic the spoiler for 23 if she needs it - ty
They have something in common and the title gives you a hint about that.
ReplyDelete@rds665 was close with one of those things.
But if you've found it you're not done yet.
they were born the same year... ??
ReplyDeleteIndeed Laura :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now use the title as hint again!!!
Yes 1632
ReplyDeleteLEVEL 25
ReplyDeleteI get that they are both SPOILER and SPOILER
But neither is the answer, well at least how I worded it
I'm with rds665. I'm guessing it has to do with being born / birth year, but nothing's working.
ReplyDeleteT'Lai,
ReplyDeleteCorrect.
But now use the title as hint again!
LEVEL 25
ReplyDeleteOpposite of Die: Born, Dice, Live, Pair,???
ages at death??
ReplyDeleteLEVEL 25
ReplyDeleteVery Very Sneaky Small Tool
Loved it
PurpleLogic,
ReplyDeleteYou already used; born to find the year
Now use the other one you also posted to do something with that year.
Aha! Double triple layers...
ReplyDeleteLEVEL 26
ReplyDeletewhat is a SPOILER
Or did i find something that is not needed?
Congrats @PurpleLogic!!!
ReplyDeletenot getting it ... am I supposed to pair the year? dice it? live it? :-/
any further hints on 25? i got the dod and the ages, but those numbers dont make a word nor do those work as answer. what am i missing?
ReplyDelete@rds665 I don't think it relates to dod, just a guess...
ReplyDeleteI need another hint for 25 too
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteFor 25, Once you get the right number, think of the word "die" in a different way and use the title again
ReplyDeleteLEVEL 25
ReplyDeleteuse a second DIE (roll 'em)
Find opposite of birth year on it
Convert
thanks! on to 26...
ReplyDelete@PurpleLogic, did you get anywhere with those 2 words on 26?
ReplyDelete@laura..nope, still stuck with 2 words...Did you find same words?
ReplyDeleteyes, found same words... is total number of books significant?
ReplyDeleteAfter struggling for so long with lvl 25, I did 26 straight away. Again, what does the title tell you to do.
ReplyDeleteyes, Laura there is a significant number of books
ReplyDeleteNot sure if total number of books is needed, but interesting that it is 2x alphabet length
ReplyDeleteI was thinking maybe days of the week but E doesn't work...
ReplyDeleteyes... also number of weeks in a year...
ReplyDeleteyes purple that is interesting
ReplyDeleteLOL there is a blog with that name (the two words)
ReplyDeleteRemember S-T's first piece of advice guys........ don't overthink!
ReplyDeleteLEVEL 26
ReplyDeleteEach Bookcase contains 26 Books
There are a few differences between the bookcases that gives us two four letter words
The 2 words together make no sense to me...YET
STUCK
@PurpleLogic, you were on the right track, I wasn't...
ReplyDeleteOn what places in the "26 books" are the differences?
ReplyDelete@PurpleLogic... apply the title
ReplyDeletebut what is the difference between the two
ReplyDeleteUsing the alphabet and different book placement got a third 4-letter word
ReplyDeleteI KNOW less now what CODE to use and am in a STEW
@PurpleLogic, LOL, same here!
ReplyDeleteEchoing mtatt100... what's the difference between CODE & STEW?
ReplyDeleteI have to go ........ Boo Hoo!! The end is in sight.... keep trucking guys and hopefully you'll finish before I get back - good luck!
ReplyDeleteAwesome game small-tool!!! Thanks so much.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletebye Cee Bee and thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to do the maths on Code and Stew but do not get a usable word.
ReplyDeleteSPOILER
Redo the last letter laura
ReplyDeletelaura, recheck the last
ReplyDeleteAlmost Laura.
ReplyDeleteNot getting anywhere on 28
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't anybody try know as answer?
ReplyDeleteoops, thanks! close enough I should maybe remove that comment...
ReplyDeleteDonas,
ReplyDeleteAgain the title has the hint. And again no anagram.
TY for the egg Small Tool
ReplyDelete@s-t, did try know!
ReplyDeleteLol I'm glad somebody found the rotten egg, PurpleLogic. It seems like everybody just went straight to level 27. And I did put the text there about how many books to get the egg.
ReplyDeleteClue for 7 please - get the principle, but am I looking for a word - or just letters - and how many? made it this far on my own but totally stuck here
ReplyDeletebtw - I like your style s-t!
27 looks like it should be easy but I guess my brain is fried... is it compass directions?
ReplyDeleteLaura, it is directions, but WHERE to start
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteWhere is the big head looking at?
It's not clock or compass or something like that.
LNS,
Write out the numbers and count.
LEVEL 27
ReplyDeleteAre we supposed to draw something?
If so I get either an old fashioned camera extension or a Mason symbol which are both wrong no doubt
PurpleLogic,
ReplyDeleteDon't draw, but indeed, use something in real life.
You're using it all the time right now.
Where is the big head looking at?
counted - retranslated - ended up sort of dejected?
ReplyDeleteam i close?
Count the written out numbers again LNS.
ReplyDelete77 is 12 letters so that should be an L.
ty!
ReplyDeleteoops - i'm only on 6 - getting ahead of myself!
ReplyDeletestill stuck on 27.... starting in middle... do I use S, NW etc? D, UR or UL or TR? too many options and it's probably something totally different...
ReplyDeleteLNS,
ReplyDeleteThe left picture is?
And the right picture is?
Then read what you have and use and as +
start with something on the page Laura then apply
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteYou have to use a word with the same amount of letters as the amount of little heads.
Well, not many words on that level, right?
Laura, WHERE are you starting when you look in the direction shown
ReplyDeleteOh for goodness sake! and you did say - don't overthink!!! ty for your pacience and darn it - I am hooked!
ReplyDeleteKeep "don't overthink" in mind. It really goes for almost all the levels :)
ReplyDeletethanks for hints all, guess I'm just slow at this stuff! looking down, south, starting at the top, the north? line up heads with title word?? I'm sure it'll seem obvious when I get it!
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteWhat letter is south-east from the W ?
The only letters I see South of the word Where is Answer for the answer box....Are there words on the page I am not seeing???
ReplyDelete@PurpleLogic, glad I'm not the only one stuck here!!! I think each head represents a letter in Where but it's not helping me...
ReplyDeletePurpleLogic,
ReplyDeleteEvery letter has his own direction.
First little head is looking south east.
South east from the W is D.
feeling dumber and dumber... why is D southeast from W???
ReplyDeleteI see the directions of (left to right) SE, NE S, NW and SW
ReplyDeleteI DO NOT SEE ANY LETTERS YOU SPEAK OF
I must be going really blind in my dotage here LOL
What word does the D come from? The only D I see on the entire page is in the ST Jon Productions Logo which is NE of the word "where"
The only real word on the level is WHERE.
ReplyDeleteSo use that word on your keyboard with the directions.
I got a half hours reprieve - YEAH!! Came back to see how you guys were doing and managed to use the 'help' comments to solve 27 ........... I'm not sure what hint to add which won't give it totally away... working on it :)
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteLook at your keyboard.
The A is South west from the W, the S is South, and the D (the letter you need) is South east.
OY VEY, the old keyboard trick LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteOK.....S-T did if for me :)
ReplyDeleteoh the keyboard!! thanks for megahints!
ReplyDeleteLol, that's why the big head was there. It is looking down.
ReplyDeleteOH! I thought big head was just telling us to start with middle head... overthinking again!
ReplyDeleteYep Laura!!! We keep on doing that don't we? 27 levels and we still haven't learned LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do think lvl25 was in a category all of it's own - it needed some thinking about.
ReplyDeleteLol, You ain't seen nothing yet. Level 30 is a killer :p
ReplyDelete25 was great... I think I may be dead before I reach 30 anyhow... okay, 28, trying not to overthink, trying!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm back to yet again staring at a screen and not knowing what I'm looking at - arrghhhhhhhhh!!
ReplyDeletetrying not to overthink gives me BCKHJCB KG etc... sigh...
ReplyDeleteLEVEL 28
ReplyDeleteSo a previous hint says the title is the hint and no anagram
If I remove all the duplicated letters i am left with three letters, the name of a well known pen maker from USA...Not the answer
So Stuck once more!!!
Level 28.
ReplyDeleteThe title tells you exactly what to do.
The answer is 3 words exactly the same length as the gibberish.
@s-t.. do you mean each word is the same length too, so that the JG would turn into a word. Is that a good place to start?
ReplyDeleteYep JG is a two letter word.
ReplyDeleteBut I think it's easier to just start at the beginning.
And the same, means?
The dreaded level 30 at last!
ReplyDelete@Donas, wow, you're a trailblazer!
ReplyDeleteNow I really do have to leave..........sorry I can't stay, hope to meet up with you all again. I know you'll be done when I get back with enough hints to hopefully get to the finish line This has been an amazing ride..........:)
ReplyDeleteWell done Donas for getting to the final hurdle first!!!!
WOOT Donas, simply amazed at your patience and creativity, not to mention your brain
ReplyDeleteI give
ReplyDeleteWhat does the Same mean?
Do we use the same method here as with the previous level?
And the same means; + the same
ReplyDeleteAnd the next means; + the next
Think alphabet!
meanwhile back at the ranch...
ReplyDeleteWell that cleared up everything! LOL
ReplyDeleteMore confused now than every LOL
So with that rule, what can you do with the first letter?
ReplyDeleteSo applying "+ the same" to the B it becomes a D? or V?
ReplyDeletethought I followed but got DETORED SN INUDSHOF so I guess not, or I'm too tired to count...
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteYou started ok, but miscounted on some letters.
For example the 3rd and the 5th.
And start again when you start with a new word.
guess I'm just counting wrong, now first word makes sense...
ReplyDeleteah, start again with each word..
ReplyDeleteoops, ty @s-t!
ReplyDeletewait a minute, didn't granmaa die way back at the beginning??
ReplyDeleteLol Laura,
ReplyDeleteYou have at least two couples of grandparents.
but didn't nana die too? or maybe it was just one of them...
ReplyDeletelittle hint may not be enough on chess ... B is bishop? K is knight? R is rook? N.. pawn? not even sure if it's horizontal or vertical? or maybe none of this matters?
CHESS? I can play a little, but the hint confuses me more
ReplyDeletewhat does B-K, R-K, B-K, N mean?
B is Bishop
ReplyDeleteR is Rook
K is King
N is Knight
oh, I felt sure that bishop would take that knight! Not sure what B-K means either.. bishop moves into position to check king?
ReplyDeleteIf the white Bishop takes the black Knight, black will win. The black rook will take the pawn etc.
ReplyDeleteSo think of moves that will force black to do other moves.
you said it laura think how to win
ReplyDeleteSo we play a game of chess and we know the outcome. Not getting a clue here at all..Gosh i am feeling dumber by each level
ReplyDeleteDon't feel dumber PurpleLogic. You're doing great :) In the end the levels are getting harder.
ReplyDeleteSorry i do not get it at all. What needs to be anagrammed? Do we draw the moves and they form letters? Sorry to be so dense
ReplyDeletedoes hint give white and black moves? if white bishop checks king, I don't see how next move can be for black rook to check king (taking pawn).. maybe it's just white moves, and black moves knight to pawn..
ReplyDelete4 moves from white (and 3 from black) and the 4th white move is checkmate.
ReplyDeleteYou need the 7 fields the pieces land on.
I read it as white moves only
ReplyDeleteI forced a checkmate Now What?
Easy to checkmate when other player can't move much
Are the fields numbered or lettered? I never played competitively only with friends. I do not know competitive rules
ReplyDeleteThe fields on chess are named with letters and numbers. For example; bottom left is field A1.
ReplyDeleteSo letters across left to right and numbers are bottom to top?
ReplyDeleteYep
ReplyDeletehave to bail soon, good luck @PurpleLogic! almost there! thanks for all the hints all... GREAT GAME
ReplyDeleteSTUMPED
ReplyDeleteMy chess fields do not seem to spell any words
my moves were for white:
D5, F1, D7, E6
For Black
F8, E8, D8
Have I become more dense than usual?
D7 is wrong. Give check on another field.
ReplyDeleteI mean when you do Bishop to D7 the black King would simply take the white Bishop and besides that; The Bishop can't go from D5 to D7.
ReplyDeleteOOPS shoulda been D8 for the check
ReplyDeleteOk then, this is where I get off.
ReplyDeleteSorry this chess is too much for me
I really enjoyed your riddle Small tool. It was really creative, frustrating and fun
On 30, mijn haar is bijna weg!!!
ReplyDeleteYour third move with white is a Bishop move, but not to a D field.
ReplyDeleteYou're almost there PurpleLogic, only one move different.
ReplyDelete@Donas, don't speak that language... your hair is turning white? it's really hard? you're almost there?
ReplyDeleteLaura, My hair is almost gone!!! Level 30 will make you pull it out!
ReplyDeleteno worries, mine is almost all gone already :-) May not make it to 30...
ReplyDeleteassuming I ever figure out chess moves, what do I anagram... does D5 become DE? Or is it more complicated?
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteGranmaa is playing against Caesar.
So what would you do with D5 ?
Remember the level with Italy and Germany.
convert to roman numerals?? D5 becomes DV?
ReplyDeleteNope, besides Roman numerals that level was about Rot.
ReplyDeletesorry to need so much hand-holding here :-/ Not sure I even have all chess moves (e4 to replace Purples' D7?) but then do I just paste all the numbers and letters into ROT converter? (ROT18 says does numbers and letters)... So eager to join Donas in losing all my hair on 30!
ReplyDeleteThe D7 should be C6
ReplyDeleteFor example C + 6 is ?
well, thanks! got it, though didn't use ROT I'm pretty sure... just the adding clue...
ReplyDeleteand thanks @Purple for chess moves, was headed way wrong on that...
ReplyDelete30 looks mighty fun! at least the old guy has some hair, even if grey...
Ah great Laura, congrats.
ReplyDeleteNow on level 30 Every title of every part is a very, very important hint!!!
And it's a lot of work. If you translate complete sentences you won't get anywhere. You have to do it word by word and to be sure translate it both ways.
Good luck (it took my beta-tester just as long to solve level 30 as it took him to solve the other 29 levels together).
and confused right off the bat ... looks like English to me?!
ReplyDeletethanks @Small-tool!! Thanks for great game and also for being here for so much help!!! Given your tester warning, I think I'll save this level for after the kids are in bed :-) Have fun all!
ReplyDeleteIt's English for sure.
ReplyDeleteBut a lot of words are Dutch as well or almost Dutch.
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you small-tool for the excellent game !!!!
Great job !!! and no ciphers (many) just thinking !!!
Thanks New :)
ReplyDeleteFinished at last! Thanks for an excellent riddle and all you help! Loved the poem Clio and Yoli!
ReplyDeleteWow, great job Donas :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!
Possibly everyone is gone, but if not, help! Still don't get 26! Please?
ReplyDeletewhat is different between what you have found
ReplyDeleteDifference is the keyword on level 26.
ReplyDeleteFirst find the differences and then use the word difference in a maths/alpabetical way.
Tlai,have you noniced the different letters ?
ReplyDeleteI'm getting 'codstw' and the only conversion thing I'm coming up with gives me 'caedaitw' which is clearly not the answer. Still missing something obvious...
ReplyDeleteT'Lai,
ReplyDeleteThe answer is a 4 letter word.
Do the 'alphabet' maths with the 2 words you get from the books.
'codstw' being what I'm left with when I take away the 'e' which is common between 'code' and 'stew'
ReplyDeleteS - C is ?
ReplyDeleteThanks S-T. I was really doing the wrong difference. :P
ReplyDeleteFinally on level 30! Let's see how it goes...
ReplyDeleteGo T'Lai!!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteNot getting it. Google translate is telling me that all the words translated from Dutch to English are exactly the same.
ReplyDeleteTranslate both ways (from Dutch to English and from English to Dutch), but also look at the bottom right in Google Translate; If it's a real word it gives all kind of extra info. If it isn't a real word it just gives the same word, because it can't translate, so then it isn't a translation.
ReplyDeleteAs a check, does this mean that 'made' should be 'maggot'?
ReplyDeleteFocus on the title, that's important for every part.
ReplyDeleteSo, on the first part; Start is Start. So A Dutch word that means exactly the same and is spelled exactly the same.
And on that first part also notice how many words the sentence is.
For example; Help is the same word in English and Dutch.
I'm on lvl 30 now. I'm not much of a chess player so many thanks to PurpleLogic for the moves - that would have taken me a very long time to come up with on my own. Congrats to all who have completed all levels if you're still here.
ReplyDeleteI'm plodding along with translating.......
I've got one 4 letter word for the first part, two 4 letter words for the third part, and I think I understand the title for the second part, but I have no idea how to apply it.
ReplyDeleteThe first part should give you a 4 letter word.
ReplyDeleteThe second part a 2 letter word
And the third part a 4 letter word.
For the second part it's exactly the same spelling, but completely different meaning.
And the second part is in a grid for a reason.
I figured there was a reason for the grid, but it's not the right size for a chess board (unless I'm just crazy), so I'm still thinking.
ReplyDeleteIm guessing everyone found level 24 easy. Not me. I've been looking at it for over 30 mins...and the title ISNT helping me.
ReplyDeleteNo chess board at all.
ReplyDeleteWith the correct words you'll find the shapes of two letters.
Level 24.
ReplyDeleteRead the title (1+1=1) as first + first is first (letter) etc.
Gotta go again. Hopefully I'll be able to finish when I get back in a few hours. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, but i still dont understand what you mean.
ReplyDeleteClio,
ReplyDeleteFirst letter one word + first letter other word is first letter answer.
Think alphabet.
I think I have to give up on lvl30 for now....... I am just not getting it. I've translated all the words both ways. I don't see how the few that are the same in both languages fit anything - I have 3 in the lst section not just one. I've read all the hints over and am still stumped. :(
ReplyDeleteGreat finish to a fantabulous riddle Small-tool!!
Clio...It is a 4 letter answer. if a=1 then take the first letter (number) of each word and add them together to get a new letter. then take the second letter form the first word and the second letter from the second word. <3
ReplyDeleteOH !!..... How stupid am I? (dont answer. That was a rhetorical question!!)..lol Thanks, small and yoli.
ReplyDeleteCee Bee,
ReplyDeleteDon't give up, you're so close now :)
Four words in the first part are spelled exactly the same and mean exactly the same.
Then look at how many words there are in the sentence and that's a hint. So pick four letters and you've got your first 4 letter word for the end-answer.
But.... Are you really done when you did level 30???
Back, and I think I have four words the same from first part (if title is included?) But not seeing how to pick 4 letters... a letter from each word? or is it position of word in alphabet as 2 sentences together have 26 words? (but what about title one then)
ReplyDelete(some dutch words are very cool. like eenzaam, and smeekte.)
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteIf you have four words, just look at what place they're on the alphabet to pick 4 letters. No anagram.
25 was excellent. Thanks small. That was really good fun...(every clever of you !!)
ReplyDeleteOn to 26 now, and have got two words.
Oh, I guess title doesn't count ... overlooked an important one in text!
ReplyDelete@T'Lai, even though you're gone, how did you do that so fast??? do you speak dutch? gonna try translating sentence by sentence... hoping knowing some german will help keep me on track...
ReplyDeleteDon't translate sentence by sentence. Translate word by word. Sorry, a lot of work, but that's the only way to go.
ReplyDeleteAnd come to think of it, not sorry at all :P This is my revenge :)
I didn't give up - wouldn't be able to sleep anyway :)..... I think I have the first two words, the third one is still eluding me
ReplyDeleteMy hair wasn't grey when I started this, but I think I've joined the old guy LOL!!
ReplyDeleteFor the third part of level 30;
ReplyDeletePEER is Dutch for PEAR.
Notice the little difference!
Use that difference on the text.
hmmmmmmm......... I already tried both of the words that had that same characteristic, even though I thought them wrong as I should be able to narrow it down to ONE word - thinking!! (Hopefully not OVER thinking LOL!!)
