"Water, Water Everywhere" - November 7, 2010

#1

Post by ricky »

New one!

http://www.lexicondevil.live/2020/11/pu ... -meta.html

I am pretty happy with this one -- not too easy, not too hard, I think.

The answer to the meta is a _body of water_.

Deadline is Tuesday at 12 pm EST.

The form to submit answers is now embedded in the blog page, so direct submission should be easier than ever.

Good luck!

BTW, there was an issue with the .puz file that's now fixed.

There's a little typo in the title of this thread.

Grrr!!! Finally broke down and asked another solver for a nudge. Then I got it in about five seconds from there. Well, not that fast, I'm exaggerating, but still. Why wasn't I seeing it? Double grr!!!

Hey folks, the only entries that have showed up on my end are the ones from Meg and oldjudge (both of whom got it right). If you are not them and you submitted or tried to submit an answer, could you please submit it again? Thanks!

Could someone send me a nudge after the deadline? Thanks

I've extended the deadline until tomorrow at 12 PM EST because it looks like something's off with the submissions -- I still only have two showing up on my end, and more than two people - here and elsewhere - have indicated they reached an answer.

The form applet on the LD webpage is in a frame, which means you may have to scroll down within it to hit the purple button to submit the answer. I'm thinking people may have typed everything in but not seen the last step - hitting the button.

In any event, here is a link to the same form that should allow you to submit without revisiting the website:
