Karl Malone, Thursday, 1 July 2021 20:07 (two years ago) link

How is "rager" bullshit??

emil.y, Thursday, 1 July 2021 20:09 (two years ago) link

i went to enough ragers to not be able to fully complete a 5x4 flawless grid, that's for sure

was the diagonal word (GAITS) intentional, or was that just the universe rewarding you for your efforts? mad props either way

that's the first 5x5 single-cross-word DLC, Lavator Shemmelpennick, who many are saying is the figurehead of a profitable movement

I do not expect to be understood, nor liked, nor celebrated

imago, Thursday, 1 July 2021 20:28 (two years ago) link

i'm afraid it is much worse, imago. far from being celebrated, your grid is NOT RECOGNIZED as it is DISQUALIFIED, and i suggest we both look up international law because we're going to court

Karl Malone, Thursday, 1 July 2021 20:35 (two years ago) link

it's not about the people or the friendships we made along the way, it is about money and IP

BOTH PAKISTANI. coincidence? or there is a deeper intelligence at play?

i am adding the cost of my blown whistle to the charges

Karl Malone, Thursday, 1 July 2021 21:01 (two years ago) link

the cost of my blown whistle: a life of puzzles, profits, pyramid schemes, and prosecutions

I should've gone with CRAPD and then made forceful, hysterical arguments about its common usage

Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:03 (two years ago) link

sressful game :(

jmm, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:04 (two years ago) link

costs have to be cut somewhere to be profitable, and i'm not going to be nice and lose money at the same time

Karl Malone, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:12 (two years ago) link

is this what they do at MENSA? they complain about how hard the puzzles are? i wouldn't know -- i wasn't even asked to join MENSA. and i didn't even want to in the first place. so who knows what they do in there.

Karl Malone, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:12 (two years ago) link

I'd like to see you try your hand at this Karl... you talk mighty big, show us what you got

Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:15 (two years ago) link

i was really close to a 5x4, but then the browser ate it (i swear!). but i think it was close to this:

COAST
ARIAS
SANTA
ELTER

Karl Malone, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:20 (two years ago) link

also, those of you who know how to program and write functions - please don't do that to immediately come up with all solutions. or i will sue your ass

― Karl Malone, Thursday, July 1, 2021 8:56 AM (six hours ago)

I might

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:20 (two years ago) link

if this was a big reddit or something, i bet someone already would have done it. not that i know how, of course, i just know there are whiz-kids

Karl Malone, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:22 (two years ago) link

i would be making flawless grids with ease but for all these lawyer phone calls i have to field regarding how much we should sue for

Karl Malone, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:22 (two years ago) link

hey y'all i had to depart from the digital world to deal with some irl responsibilities but i admire all the great efforts here except imago's disrespectful mockery of The Beautiful Game.

To answer unregistered's question, i will be honest and say that my diagonal GAITS was unintentional and unnoticed! But I will take any accolades that accompany it. Some of the greatest achievements are unintentional, I believe we call it "pulling a Homer"

Lavator Shemmelpennick, Thursday, 1 July 2021 22:46 (two years ago) link

km happy to hear your law practice is booming so hard. i just hope it doesn't get to the point where the Flawless Grid Challenge really only exists to support the legal practice, you don't want to end up a patent troll

you must be able to say the words in a sentence

if you're not too fussy about it, literally any set of words, however many or diverse, could be placed into the confines of one grammatical English sentence. It would require a strategy that would amount to cheating in most people's minds, but would not disqualify it as grammatical English. It would even have a meaning after a fashion, albeit an extremely dull and annoying meaning. For example:

The words frog, capstan, oligarchic, tenth, and longitudinal can all be found in an unabridged English dictionary.

it is to laugh, like so, ha! (Aimless), Friday, 2 July 2021 00:09 (two years ago) link

on the other hand, if you're not too fussy with it, that totally doesn't count come on!!

Karl Malone, Friday, 2 July 2021 00:10 (two years ago) link

the game is just fucking it's over. it's fucking OVER

Karl Malone, Friday, 2 July 2021 05:45 (two years ago) link

Karl want you to know I wrote a whole computer program tonight and it was not a solution to the flawless grid challenge

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Friday, 2 July 2021 05:45 (two years ago) link

I can't believe you found something more profitable to work on

Luckily this thread was started just as I finished work and just before I had to do the kids bedtime and get things ready for a birthday party, or I might have pissed away more minutes of my life on fruitless activities. Nevertheless I tried in the few spare minutes I had to come up with something with my daughters names in using just pencil and paper, and failed. Hit the word lists this morning and succeeded but maybe I'll try another one without EDEMA (scarcely better than enema) or LARDS.

EDEMA
AMBER

I suppose you think Zebra is a bad name for a child too?

going for readability but not getting it with the columns:


MEN
ARE
MAD

MAY
ONE
BAT

and an unreadable 4x4:


FACT
AXLE
ROAN
ENDS

CARAFE
ROAMED
ARTING
STANCE
HANDED

I got a sorta 6x5 if you don't mind the slangy ARTING and the annoyingly Neil Gaimanny AMIND

imago, Friday, 2 July 2021 14:02 (two years ago) link
