I found a link to this game last night and I've been playing since then. The way it works is you keep typing in words that are related to the "theme" word and the other words that are linked, until you fill out the whole square and eventually the whole puzzle.

(Don't be put off by the slow load speed.It's an addictive game....dammit!)

I should have mentioned before people started playing, that there's more than one square to solve...and the answers around the edges lead to fresh puzzles on different themes! For me this just adds to the addictive quality of the game!!!:lol:

My game won't work. Says your cheating attempt has been logged and now it won't let me play. How could I have cheated without knowing.

henry20
11-Oct-06, 13:49
thats pretty rubbish. I've given up for now. You'll probably have to wipe your history and start from scratch. :(

Maybe they have a spy on caithness.org :lol:

Just spoke to emszxr and she says hers does the same, but she clicks back and it works ok.

newpark
11-Oct-06, 13:55
Your right I had to wipe everything and start again ahhhhhhhhhhhh

henry20
11-Oct-06, 13:57

So, if you open a new window and copy this address in, you can (hopefully)see where I've got to on it. I know it's cheating but even if you only use one answer to reveal a few more.
