Everyone found the previous one too easy. Hope this one provides atleast a little more of a challenge :-)

HI,
ReplyDeleteThis was a good break. I actually guessed the answer to the final clue, before I even unscrambled the rest. I have emailed my answered to you. It was fun.
I had difficulty with the last clue.
Overall, it was a very nice exercise.

the 3rd one is NOT lamina:)
ReplyDeleteGot it...inspite of you not fixing the bug:)
and the 2nd one is not clasp :) (sundar found that one) darn! and i thot i was so careful this time :)
ReplyDeletei guess i gotta follow your earlier idea and make the multiple answers a 'feature' to make the puzzle more difficult!
are you planning to post solutions in this blog as well ??
ReplyDeletei actually got the final answer without getting the last clue..
he he.
:)
Good one.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is also not 'claps'. Yep, the 3rd one is def not 'lamina'. :)
sundar, will post solutions monday evening.
ReplyDeletemissy, i actually thot of claps before i posted the jumble. which is why i added the note on 'no plurals' :)
priya, u have time till monday evening i guess :)
Actually, it seems more fun to find multiple answers and then find the right one!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess, making up these puzzles must be even more challenging than unscrambling them!!
:-) sutham :-)
ReplyDeleteme too, glad u feel that way :)
ReplyDeleteand yes, making them up is challenging. But good fun :)
Are we supposed to post the answers here?

ReplyDeleteKrishna, the jumbles r typically quite easy. The only challenge is usually posed by the final answer. Hope future puzzles turn out to be more challenging :)
