![]() nothing else did either unless it was intended for 6 year olds. The correct words very much LOOK like words even if you don't know them.Īs for not having an official translation. As Reiko found, there's a logical path to the solution ("by my" is obvious since those words can't be anything else, "crypt" kinda jumps out at you, the fact that three words need to be two-vowel words where both vowels are y will naturally send your mind towards adjectives that end in "ly".) It really isn't that difficult once you sit down and work with the letters you have, even as a non-native speaker that doesn't know all these words. I mention this in that last post, but as a non native English speaker, this puzzle is fully possible, even if you don't know what a tryst is. you had to use a list of words from the internet, It's not exactly cheating, but could you have solve this without any external help ? That's why I said almost no one solved this puzzle without cheating, walkthrough, hints, or help of any kind.Īgain, for a fun run, check the Almost walking series in which they managed to solve this puzzle (3 people playing the game) Reply Delete Not easy at all, but also not completely appaling. They wanted to really show how 3d and interactive everything was, an artifact of its time.įinally, if this puzzle should be remade one day, I can see it having syllabes spelled out, and you have to sort them, like "CRY" "PT", "SLY", "LY", etc. The cans moving around animation is also super slow, and to me, this is the biggest issue with the game. hey I found a phrase with no actual vowels, let's make it a puzzle. It feels like someone felt cocky about this puzzle like. and I get slyly but would have never guessed it. I mentioned in the last post, but as a non native english speaker this puzzle is impossible (even to this day), since I don't really know what's a tryst, spryly. Great job with the cans ! Now my observations with that particular puzzle. Three of them must have two Y's each, and TRYST only has one Y, so the last one probably has to be GYPSY, as it's the only remaining option with two Y's. In fact, the last three words only have one Y each, and the first word, three letters, almost certainly has only one Y as well, which means the middle four words have a total of seven Y's. But we have so many Y's that we have to use as many words with two Y's as possible. Wait, SPRYLY and SLYLY both? That's weird. ![]() That means I have to use both SLYLY and TRYST plus one of the other three. ![]() But SPRYLY uses a P, and so does CRYPT, and I only have three P's, so I can't use both GYPSY and SYLPH either. What if I use GYPSY and SYLPH? Well, the six-letter word probably has to be SPRYLY because the only other options are plurals of the five letter words, which would duplicate too many letters. That means I have to use three of the five remaining words, but there's only one G and only one H, so I could use GLYPH or GYPSY but not both, and GLYPH or SYLPH but not both. The sequence needs one six-letter word and four five-letter words, one of which I think is CRYPT. I cull my list further by removing all other words with B, M, or C (like MYRRH and PSYCH) and get down to only sixteen unique words of length 3 to 6, only five of which are five letters: GLYPH, GYPSY, SLYLY, SYLPH, TRYST. ![]() It's a bit of a guess, but it seems like a good place to start, especially because that also uses up the one C that's available. I make the leap that maybe a place like that makes sense for that last word, so then it would be saying that something happens "by my crypt". (I also check all the proper names in the game, just to be sure, but none even have a Y, so I conclude that I'm probably meant to only look at ordinary words.) I reduce the list to only twenty-five unique words, not including plurals and such. I start carefully assembling a list of all the possible reasonable words, because there really aren't very many, especially when I remove words that can't be made with only the letters I have available, like nymph (no N) or rhythm (only one H). ![]()
