@GarethMcCaughan their piano doesn’t have a name. There is no need to find that out. Curious to know why you think her name could Marcus if you have worked out most of the puzzle?

This is the last time I am posting any puzzles on this site I feel the reception that puzzle makers get here is hostile… this is the straw that broke the camels back…

People don’t know that I put in a ton of effort and thought to make a nice puzzle only for it to get downvoted because it was too hard. Thanks a bunch

I have deleted my puzzle for the advent calendar out of disgust for the downvotes

Hi guys I will be dropping a hint for my puzzle in a few hours I would like to know where you got stuck/would like some pointers towards and I will drop a hint accordingly.

@Jafe was my interpretation of the second clue correct?
PDT
Jun 17, 2024 17:25
@juicifer I guess it’s probably cheesy but in all seriousness no

So annoyed I worked out that flag puzzle out almost immediately after the hint was posted but wasted all that time looking for a country flag which didn’t exist!
PDT
Jun 9, 2024 08:36
Also does the clue have to be a direct synonym or could it just be a description of the answer, like ‘blue in color’ = sky
PDT
Jun 9, 2024 08:34
I felt super silly
PDT
Jun 9, 2024 08:34
I thought that was against the rules
PDT
Jun 9, 2024 08:33
I assumed that my clue was flawed judging from your statement so i decided to spill the beans to avoid any frustrations plus you already had the answer more or less
PDT
Jun 9, 2024 08:27
Better clue would have been ‘it’s seriously funny’
PDT
Jun 9, 2024 08:25
@ M Oehm it was intended to be ‘comma d’ the Mark was just supposed to be a clue for a punctuation mark I apologize if this is yet another rule I have broken I don’t really know the ins and outs of cryptic clues too well.

It funny the puzzles subreddit is popping harder than here these days maybe we should all hop on there instead

@oAlt congratulations on the solve must have been quite the grind! I saw the size of the nonogram and was like ‘no thank you’!

Actually on second thought I don’t think it works nvm

As in ‘many cuts’

May 30, 2024 11:18
@msh210 crops? Cut plr. Hay is the clue
PDT
May 30, 2024 04:25
@jafe yes that was the idea
PDT
May 30, 2024 03:42
@msh210 you are correct! However, Ulster-scots are the group, best synonymous to ‘first’. So the first word of ulster-scots is ‘Ulster’.
PDT
May 29, 2024 21:30
This is also the British spelling of the word
