thanks Mr. Captain Obvious

vvvvvv

[doobiesnacks]

um, ok. Can you please try to explain further what we are trying to look for? Or is that the point of the contest? Cause right now this doesn't really make much sense.
:eek13:

its a word search puzzle.. you look for words. Out of all the words you find, you try and come up with an all together theme. Throw out the words that dont go along with the theme and submit.. what's there not to understand?

[Miyagi Rikku]

^ Well a little short aim/direction would at least help it clear it out and not just say its just a Horrid Word Search. :babies: w.e

Forgive me for being such a slow dumbass. :facepalm::whatevah: :rolleye09

[Kenken]

we just use ANY words we find?

[♥ Tess]

my apologies for not making it clearer

A word search is when you have to search for words within a scramble of letters


Google definition: -v
A word search, word find, word seek is a generic word game that consists of seemingly random letters arranged in a grid, that usually has a rectangular shape. The object of the game is to find and mark all of the words hidden in the grid (that relates to the theme)

EDIT: -v
np

[Miyagi Rikku]

^ I am asking for a more clear of an aim not just a mere definition of Word Search. Thank you Mr. and Ms. Captain Obvious.

[Kenken]

you usually have a list of words you got to find o.o

i guess this is another type. Thanks for the definition ^^ *sits and waits for mroe hints*

[WhyteDragon]

i think the basic question is...
Up/down across/angled (sp)? and reversed?

[♥ Tess]

all of the above -^

Forward, Backwards, Up, Down & Diagonal

[WhyteDragon]

Evil!

Thanks Shin for clearing that up. :)

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

hahaaa... and i thought thisi s going to be easy before i saw how huge the wordsearch is :D

In addition to the Theme, Provide the coordinates of each answer when submitting.
(example: Ten [h15, v2] )

so lets say if the word 'Ten' is horizontal, do we put [h15,v2] to [h15,v4]?

-----v2--v3-v4
h15- T....E....N

[edit] hope u understand wad i am saying, coz i dont know how to put it =P

[Cleric]

I would think it would be easier if you just thought of it as a coordinate grid and wrote it in coordinate form . . .

TEN would be (2,15)-(4,15)

Or you could just highlight the words in PS and submit a jpeg . . .

[rei]

my pc is a biatch so req the puzzle on photobucket please thanks:P

You can submit just Point A to keep it simple.
As long as I know where you found the answer, i don't mind how you put it : )


Or you could just highlight the words in PS and submit a jpeg . . .

You can send the jpeg if you want,
but I still require a list of the answers w/ coordinates :P


my pc is a biatch so req the puzzle on photobucket please thanks:P

no problem : )

(note: the chance to win the 70k prize will end after the 2nd hint is given)

[Lust]

if the second hint is bout the theme then yes,maybe.. :<
and its liek gambling coz of the rule,one wrong minus mark

[Kabane]

lol @ "Just give up."

[theblack_dragon]

wow this is going to be interesting so how long now until the hints coime out i like suck with this time zone thing

[Barbaroi]

It should be like 4pm PST at the time of this post, from what I was told by people much smarter then I.

[♥ Tess]

2nd hint released

[theblack_dragon]

and where is the second hint mighti ask?

@barbaroi yea i know there are alot people here that are smart lol


edit: found it on the front page but that isnt really much help shin wow this contest is going to suck.

*reports back to division*

[Cleric]

Damn you shin . . . now I had to go find and listen to that song again >_<

[♥ Tess]

since there was a minor conflict,
I added to the first hint

that should clear some things up

[KaliKal]

Q? thats not a english word then, all q's are followed by u's

The letter Q is frequently followed by the letter U, for the resulting sound of "cue" when pronounced. When Q does end a word, it is often because the word is not of English origin, it is an abbreviation, it is a proper place, or it is a person’s name.

please tell us what it really is, a abbrev or a proper word(both places and names)

[Wacer]

Q? thats not a english word then, all q's are followed by u's



please tell us what it really is, a abbrev or a proper word(both places and names)


I can assure that it is an English word, the theme will make it pretty obvious that is word in english, that will be giving you too big of a hint to tell you what it is. trust me, once you find it you will know what i mean

[Miyagi Rikku]

all of the above -^

Forward, Backwards, Up, Down & Diagonal


Somewhat kinda late in asking but in addition to the directions for finding the words, can they be like looped and or curved like the first half set of the letters are on the top and the rest are on the bottom? Kinda hard to explain without a Visual Aid. >_<;

http://i18.tinypic.com/82locir.jpg
[lulz for sucky visual aid]

[Icestorm]

I doubt it... basically no crosswords ive ever seen do that.

[WhyteDragon]

@Icestorm - I have a book of word searches and they do angles and funky things like that... but its the whole puzzle. All the words do it.

[Icestorm]

I see.. though I think that isnt the case here.

[Kabane]

It would be a cruel and unusual punishment to do that.

[WhyteDragon]

Then again... you all are with this one....

This one is good. Really keeping us on our toes with it and the Division busy. Thanks.

[Miyagi Rikku]

okei x3 thanks for the infos. x3

[♥ Tess]

yea, you don't have to worry about that with this one :P

[Bamboobie]

Not sure if this has been asked, but...

So, are there only two four letter words in the word search?

At first I thought it meant only four letter words in the theme, but now I'm confused.

[Nowitzki]

Hint #1:
"This theme only has two 4 letter words.
No words in this theme has less than 4 letters"

EDIT:
(12/18/07)

The first word begins with an "F"
The second words ends with a "Q"

Two words of the X number of words we have to find.

[theblack_dragon]

like im still totally i wonder how the other divisions are doing

[Barbaroi]

Only time will tell >:_)

[Kabane]

we found over 9000 terms.

truth.

[Barbaroi]

Lol.. thats a lie!! 2500 letters in the search... should only be 2500 words at the most!! and thats if every letter is used! .. at least I think...

[Kabane]

remember you can go diagonally and backwards and upwards too. :)

racecar has 6 words right there. :)

[Barbaroi]

Hmm. touche.. I actually think its 20000 words max. Each letter, with 8 directions it can go from there. I'm bad at math though so that's probably wrong... but oh well.

[WhyteDragon]

we found over 9000 terms.

truth.
Oh good god!
*passes out*

I guess it will be a good thing with the next hint tonight to clear up what everyone has in their lists.

[Undying]

It's over nine thousand.

Sorry fellas, I couldn't resist :).

[Neve]

A lot more than 20000 possible combinations. Remember that each word can also have any number of letters :) (within the bounds of the size of the grid, obviously)

racecar is a nice palindrome ^_^

[Kabane]

babieseibab is a better one.

[Barbaroi]

Ugh!! Ok, I may be wrong about the 20,000 words.. but I know one thing for sure...

We are gonna win!! :)

[Lust]

Ugh!! Ok, I may be wrong about the 20,000 words.. but I know one thing for sure...
We are gonna win!! :)
i doubt that,those 1337 vaizard and espada always get 1/2 in the contest
like im still totally i wonder how the other divisions are doing
my guess is,everyone is having fun searching fer the words while having their eyes pop out and stick to the screen

[Cassie]

my guess is,everyone is having fun searching fer the words while having their eyes pop out and stick to the screen

If everyone did that, we wouldn't see Vaizard and Espada being 1/2. soooooooooooooooo, go stare at the screen everyone!!

[Miyagi Rikku]

Yes, Ima be sticking my eye balls on my 54" plasma TV or wait LCD rather and play Wii. Yesssss. xD

[WhyteDragon]

Don't forget Third Division. We're still holding on, and we aren't giving our spot up witout a fight :)

[♥ Tess]

3rd hint released

[Kabane]

Babies is one of our answers.

[SupraSpeed]

^^^ lol, i don't doubt it one bit!! wooooww, this is gonna be tough!

[Kalashnikov]

Every word on our list is related to babies in one way or another.

[♥ Tess]

contest ends in about an hour.
submit your answers if you haven't already.

EDIT:
/Contest Ended


The results will be posted within the next 24 hours

[Harley Quinn]

I wish I could say 11th has, but I can probably make a safe bet that we will be last. *Sigh* Guess we have more brawn than brains.

[Kalashnikov]

*Waits very impatiently for results.....*

We must win!!

[Kabane]

lol.

Maybe we'll win.. who knows.

[Nowitzki]

Good luck to all of the divisions that submitted!

[Tai Dai]

is it time, is it time

*desperately stares at computer*

[Cleric]

We're here too ^_^ V..

[Barbaroi]

You all might as well just take a nap, cuz the 4th is gonna win!! :)

[Tai Dai]

That's what they all say.

[Kabane]

[Nomadic Dragon]

Shin, did you ever send the points to the 4th for participating? I know there was no prize for third but I don't think we ever got the points for participating in the contest. Unless you sent them out earlier before the results were released.

/me is confused

EDIT: Sorry, I was confused. I see now that you sent the points..my bad.

[Icestorm]

Good work to all those who participated!

Congrats to the C46 on another great contest.. You guys are always coming up with creative ways to make these contests harder so I take my hat off to you.
