It's been thirteen days since "Deck It Out 6", as well as the ad for solitairebliss.com that I got compensated for, were both published on this blog. A massive-to-me fourteen people successfully solved the puzzle since then, and all of them are listed below:
- Cindy Heisler ****
- Grant Fikes ****
- Joe Bernard ****
- Stephen Potter ****
- Sam Levitin ****
- Kevin Orfield ****
- Mom ****
- Patrick Jordan ****
- Tyler Hinman ****
- Elliott Frankfother ****
- Lynn Sweeney ****

Now head below the break for the answers as well as a couple solvers'
comments!
A) Shazam, 2) Cannon, 3) Sultan, 4) Winter, 5) Latvia, 6) Maniac, 7) Sleigh,
8) Andrew, 9) Marine, 10) TV Feed, J) Ottawa, Q) Birdie, K) Triple
The sentence in the above grid reads SOLITAIRE VARIANT NAMED AFTER AN ARACHNID
WITH A STINGER TAIL, and the answer to that is SCORPION
|
| I so wanted to mention this Spider-Man villain in the clue, but he proved too big to fit into the 52-character limit |
Solver Sam Levitin said that this was "A nice return to the fathomable level of difficulty after mystery
hunt." [The annual MIT Mystery Hunt took place the weekend before this
puzzle was originally published]
Patron Cindy Heisler noted that
SCORPION (or rather, "</scorpion>") is
"also the name of a show Rick and I are watching from a few years back. We
only wish we were that smart!"
