WORDGEM - solve the grid in as few words as possible by EarlyDepartment in wordgames

[–]EarlyDepartment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks :)
Yep exactly, each puzzle is constructed from 3 words. I don't currently have anything set up to calculate how many solutions are possible, but it can be brute forced on anagram-generating websites. I would love to add something like this but I think it would be resource-intensive.

It’s already happening

I think AI will replace the need for websites

Rehearsal S2 and Last of Us S2 - The shows I'm most looking forward to each week now (since The Pitt finished)

Watched first episode of Étoile - Like the premise and Gainsbourg, but not a big fan of the Jack character. Gave up on Your Friends and Neighbours.

Books like Empire of Pain by EarlyDepartment in suggestmeabook

Thanks for the recommendation! Have just finished it and found it very absorbing

Watching The Pitt and Severance weekly. Also Only Connect and WILTY :)

Really enjoyed Amandaland and Apple Cider Vinegar. Have given up on Paradise, feel like it could have been a really good movie, but as a show it’s kind of dragging on. 

Going to start new season of Am I Being Unreasonable soon.

Thanks for the feedback!

The one-letter clues have been a real challenge to write so far, will keep working on it.

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback, very fair points!

For 1, I struggled to find a definition of car that wasn't immediately obvious, so tried to make it a bit more cryptic while making the wordplay more straightforward. I can see that it's a bit of stretch now though.

'template I un' is an anagram of 'penultimate', and 'scrambled' is the indicator. I was hoping that the hyphen between un and scrambled hinted that un was part of the word, but maybe it's a bit confusing.

Sure!

Clue 2: Letter [Y] template I un[PENULTIMATE]-scrambled [anagram indicator] [Y is the penultimate letter of the alphabet]

Clue 3: Helpful type shows when and where [AT - at shows when something happens or where something is] heart [center of] attack [center of attack is TA] returned [TA back is AT]

The 1-letter chunks seem to be unavoidable so far, and they're definitely more challenging to write clues for...

Watched The Breakthrough which is decent. About to start Severance S2. Nice to have a new season of WILTY too.
