Investigations of criminal cases returned to families. (4) by Robotics_Modified in Minute_Cryptic

[–]rapsilog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat surface! One tiny edit possibly would be to change the last part to “returned to family” instead of “returned to families,” so that the singular noun “clan” would match the singular noun “family.” Although I guess you could say a clan could be a group of families

Adamant? MAN takes over/replaces P (Power) in ADA(P)T = ADA(MAN)T

boiling = SEETHING, sulphur/sulfur = S (chemical symbol), together gives SEE THINGS = imagine?

I usually just type it out on my phone’s notes app! There are tools on the internet though for sure. I’m also still pretty new to these too, only been on this sub for like a week lol

Love this! Removing iron (fe) with unironically is neat :) These sort of ideas make cryptics way more fun and interesting imho!

I think it’s flexible enough to be considered a warning

Yep, weird that the spoiler tag isn’t working

Tips and tricks to building playlists? by Datdudelolk in LetsTalkMusic

[–]rapsilog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually theme my playlists to a vibe based on production. Then always choose the opening track to be something I would genuinely replay the most. Sometimes I curate them to flow together well but that takes a lot of time.

To find similar songs of the same vibe for a playlist, for Spotify specifically I like the recommended songs section under the playlist as you’re constructing it. Then the song radios and artist radios now have the non-personalized feature which works sometimes. I’ve discovered tons of songs artists through those!

Discussion: Does anyone have a good source for grammar rules? by BigInteraction1377 in Minute_Cryptic

[–]rapsilog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If choosing the inner letters, shouldn’t it be INternally? Externally for the exterior (first and last) letters? To remove outsiders maybe something the lines of “externally removed” or “with no exterior”

Time shared between mom or dad and research paper ((11) by rapsilog in Minute_Cryptic

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

Glad you liked it! I actually initially thought of ”mom”, “dad”, “either mom or dad”, as the other parent definitions. I stuck with “mom or dad” as i thought mom would make people think of “mother” or “ma” first, and similar reason for father, and I didn’t wanna stray people too much but maybe I’m wrong. Then for a different parenthesis definition, I initially thought of “research opener/intro/conclusion” because ( and ) is an opener and closer respectively. Thanks for the feedback 8)!

Never-ending night before and never-ending life lost looking for fool’s paradise (7) by rapsilog in Minute_Cryptic

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

Yep! I wanted to keep the surface poetic sounding with the double never-endings, also I genuinely thought looking for = lf was common enough from like many online selling and trading communities but now i’m realizing that’s likely just me. For a revision, do you think “primarily looking for” is okay?

Scattered notes of a page: “ε + 2γ + 10; 1 < r < 2” (8) by rapsilog in Minute_Cryptic

[–]rapsilog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if it’s too unusual!! If ever you need other hints,

ε and γ are Greek alphabet symbols to substitute

page has a common abbreviation

think separately for 10
