I'm still having trouble with Question 6. I tried it without the apostrophe, without commas, without periods, I've tried every combination I can think of and can't get it to work.

The answer is most common reason, not force majéur.

Comment has been collapsed.

Tnx for the hint, but isn't force majeure the only reason, since everything that can perform the said effect is natural (ie not manmade)?

Yes, it's natural.

Also thought that force majéur was the most common reason. I mean rivers don't just flow backwards every day.

Wow, I tried so many combinations like "high tide", "rising sea", "changing tide", etc. I loved the puzzle in general, but that really shows the weakness of this puzzle format when it comes to more variable answers.

For instance, I'm surprised "spider silk" only had one variant while "spider web" had several of them, even though I myself used spider silk straight away so had no problem with that question. (Not to mention, that it's not actually true. It's only stronger per weight.)

As for the iceberg, I also tried Hel, Niflhel, Niflheim, Niflheimr, Nifl. I only tried Helheim when I happened to read that heim meant something like home and I decided to combine that with Hel.

Again, I loved the puzzle in general, so I'm not criticizing you. Just venting my frustration that there's no easy way for you to cover all valid answers. :)
