Angry Words III. Like any lazy sequel, it's a lot like the other ones... If you're stuck, the last 2 Angry Words puzzles have solutions posted, which might give you some ideas for solving this :)

The main prize, for the first to solve the puzzle is a Shift 2 - Unleashed key for Origin (Please comment in the giveaway and add me in Steam once you've solved it). There is also a regular giveaway for everyone who completes the puzzle (sorry, it's a bundly one I'm afraid), for Dead Space (both Steam and Origin keys).

Good luck, puzzlenauts!

Thanks (and also apologies) to everyone who gave this a go. Congratulations to chour and Usagi who were desperately close to solving it, and between them had all the answers. Well done, fellas. Here are the answers.

A link to the first or second Angry Words puzzle will be nice since it's necessary to understand what's going on...

Angry Words II

Hope that helps a bit. Good luck :)

Thanks. It doesn't help much though. If this again has a complexity that only Chour could solve it I pass immediately.

lol! I don't know whether or not English is your first language, but this one is likely to to be pretty hard going for non-native speakers. As with the last couple of Angry Words puzzles, some of the questions are a bit cryptic.

I looked at it, googled a bit and I don't even know what I am doing... Not even sure where to start. Seems like a way too hardcore puzzle for my brain to understand, lol.

Haha! It's not as baffling as it looks once you see what you're supposed to be doing :)

Google probably won't be much help with this one, but checking the previous Angry Words solutions should give you a handle on what's going on!

Have got many things I really should be doing, but instead I've spent most of the last hour on this puzzle.

I'm finally back online. Since it was me who nudged AtomicWoodchuck to make another 'Angry Words' puzzle I feel obliged to solve it. Heh.

Will you extend the puzzle? It seems to end sooner than I'll be inclined to give up :)

No worries. Assuming nobody else gets in first, once the giveaway ends, I'll set it going again for a few more days :)

Nice one, would appreciate more time on this as well, although to be honest I think I hit a brick wall after the first hour of trying.

Nice.
Heh, finally solved Q7. That one is really tough. 7/12

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Nice.

I think 7 and 10 are probably the hardest ones. Just out of interest, which questions do you still have left?

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Ack! Solved 7 and 10 :). Q3 is still the best :P.
Struggling with 4,5,8,11,12.
I've had a lot of ideas with those but no luck still.
Also, did you intentionally leave out the number of letters for the last one?

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I kind of did, but on reflection it seems a little unfair...

The last one has 9 letters :)

And so I thought, although I kept on trying 2 words. Heh.

Aaand Q12 is down. Looks easy in retrospect. I wonder if it's the best.

Certainly one of them, IMHO :)

I'd love to give it a try, since I do love word-play. Except anagrams. I detest anagrams.

Not all the clues contain anagrams, but there may be enough there to put you off.

Good luck if you decide to give it a shot :)

In all seriousness, you've a real talent for writing these cryptic clues.

Am glad you took my previous outburst with the good humour that was intended. It's almost as if you expected people to get pissed off with this puzzle...

First stage - What the fuck is this?

Second stage - How did i not see it?!

11/12? Nice job!

Interesting how different people's minds work! I thought 7 was a really nasty one, whereas 5 was one of the less tricky clues :) I guess not, since Usagi was still working on it too!

Puzzle solvers and puzzle makers view tasks from different angles.
Q7 looks nasty from both sides.

Agreed! It's a shame that itstoohard.com fails to provide any stats on individual question attempts/answers. Would certainly be helpful in figuring out what works and what doesn't.

Hmm. Now I wish to be a native English speaker. My best shots at Q11 were 'iron','cain/kane/cane' - because 'able=abel' and 'dirk'.
Edit: Also 'stan' wasn't on my list of words for check.

P.S. A very nice puzzle!

Wow! You aren't a native speaker?! I take my hat off to you, sir!

I see you already have Dead Space, but since you came so close, if you'd like an Origin copy of Shift 2 Unleashed, please add me on Steam. You've more than earned it :)

I think I've bought the origin bundle and already have those keys. Thank you but don't worry. I usually solve puzzles for the fun of it :).

And of course congrats to chour, you were really close.
