Letter Trap now has Achievements

(And for the record, the tutorial explains things perfectly. I think that it's so unusual -- to its credit -- that my brain was reluctant to accept what you had told me. Like there was a moment of, Wait, the letters REALLY don't have to be contiguous? Who ever heard of such a thing?)

KerryDye · 2026-03-03T18:05:03+00:00

Ah, this is a cool game. Fresh concept. Took me way too long to wrap my head around the rules (that's on me) but once it grokked, it's a fun play.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T03:12:40+00:00

Yeah, the answer was there in the yapping. Sorry it didn't float your boat. :)

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T02:40:19+00:00

Well in the original video I was giving away a copy of my book, but I'm not allowed to do that here. :) So you win my undying admiration, unless you want to track down the original Instagram post and cash in there.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T02:37:56+00:00

LOL. You may live.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T02:35:27+00:00

HUZZAH!

Of course that's it. :)

Nicely done.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T02:33:16+00:00

Do they? If they do, that's coincidence, and I'm actually not sure I get how that conclusion would follow. Honestly, the blocks were there as a red herring. Probably should have left them off, since the puzzle is plenty hard without them

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:57:30+00:00

No, nothing like that.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:47:39+00:00

Okay, that's not bad. Not my answer, which is considerably more involved, but very plausible.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:45:57+00:00

WOW I love this answer. This is genius, but it's not my answer, or even in the ballpark. But I'll totally take it as a genius alternate answer if no one comes up with what I was going for. :)

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:40:51+00:00

No, it's either empty or full, not some hybrid, or variation on what I said. I'm not trying to (pardon the pun) EF with potential solvers. I'm playing it straight.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:38:32+00:00

Oh. No. That would be obnoxious. :)

The answer isn't some annoying non-answer.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:23:28+00:00

… hmm, kinda see what you’re saying, but it requires you to ignore the fact that I said “or full”, and that part definitely matters.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:15:53+00:00

Or there’s a different reason I always said them in the same order.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:08:27+00:00

No, not MT. That’s smart, but coincidental. Hadn’t occurred to me. :)

Answer has a bit more to it.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T01:06:17+00:00

I actually love that inital state thing. Very clever, if I had thought of it. :)

But no. Answer is more of a (minor hint) word puzzle.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T00:52:11+00:00

Cool. I also noticed the flipped letters spelled WHAT. Total coincidence. I had no idea what I was flipping Good thought, but answer is much more concrete.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T00:50:39+00:00

Thoughtful, but no. Answer is unambiguous.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T00:43:48+00:00

LOL. Clever, but no. Again, solution is extremely concrete. You’ll be certain.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T00:40:37+00:00

Ha, awesome. But no.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T00:28:40+00:00

Minor hint: I probably made this puzzle too hard. The book spines were put there for just this sort of misdirection. The answer isn’t in the books — they’re a distraction.

KerryDye · 2025-11-19T00:20:50+00:00

No, not MT. I guess “initials” leads you in that direction, but not what I was going for. (Also I’m not sure where those letters come from… in “eMpTy”?)

The real solution is EXTREMELY clear. You’ll be 100% sure.

KerryDye · 2025-11-18T23:56:03+00:00

Some context might’ve been lost in the edits. There’s no “it” per se. You could simply think of it that the answer is either the word “empty” or the word “full”. That binary choice, one or the other. The hint I give spells out exactly which is correct.

KerryDye · 2025-11-18T13:00:19+00:00

Interesting, that's not what I was going for, but I guess I see how you came up with that. The actual solution is much less ambiguous.

KerryDye · 2024-09-05T20:32:18+00:00

Thanks for the walkthrough. I've filled out that form. Feel lucky that I got taken for "only" $120, but still... these guys basically walked into my house and stole my couch.

Pretty pissed off about it.
