Beau Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 My sister sent me a link to an online puzzle a couple of weeks ago and I lost my life! I found it so addictive but thankfully I have almost completed it now. However, I thought I would share it with the rest of you but be warned - it is time consuming. I don't think I have used google and wikipedia so much in my life. http://www.shygypsy.com/farm/p.cgi It's sort of a word association game so just start typing words that link with what is on the screen, but it is American so don't be too British.

Beau Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 I think I must be a really vindictive person deep down. Someone inflicted it on me, so I felt the need to inflict it on others. A word of advice - don't try to do it by yourself! It took the combined efforts of me, my husband, my sister and her husband to complete it.

aliamch Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm having to ask my 9 & 11 year old daughters to help as hubby's gone to work. I've been in & out of that site all afternoon and I've still got loads of blank spaces on the first map! Karrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliamch Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I haven't completed one box yet but I have been able to open up 5 others, does it count if the boxes aren't fully completed? Karrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 im with you dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 It doesn't have to be animals! Just think of anything on a farm-even the people!!! Do the dots correspond to letters-if so what are the two letter words?????? Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Not necessarily words - try initials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Well I got one-alternative to a cow. Initials ASPK? Now I am confused! I have to say that I am struggling with this puzzle. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 well, I typed in a rather rude phrase linked with the four letter animal... (out of desperation, you understand!) and bingo, it came up as initials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I admit I looked. I didnt have a clue what I was doing though so Dawn and Hali, you're not alone. It wouldnt work for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 word of warning. I was just getting into it and did a google search for the game because the link failed and ended up downloading an almost complete puzzle. Now I can't get back to my game. Probably a good job or I would have spent far too much time on it and I really do have to do boring things like shopping and cleaning!!

Beau Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 The dots are letters, so that is a help. Sometimes they are initials too - for instance, CIA, EYPS, RSPCA - although obviously not those ones. You need to type answers into the box on the left of the screen and if it is right it comes up in the puzzle. You are aiming to get to the 4 corners where there are yellow boxes which link as well. Difficult to explain but just keep going and you'll get there eventually. You don't need to fill in all the boxes but I am one of those people that don't like missing pieces.

Guest Wolfie Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I can't think of ANY more words to lead off "cow"!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Woke up at 8.20 this morning which is early for me on a day off. Didn't actually get dressed until 11.30 because of this darn puzzle!! Have temporarily banned myself from it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 What rude phrase ASPK???? I have done most of the farm but am finding the religion one so difficult. I have got all the obvious ones but can't go any further because I haven't got any at the edges. It's so frustrating!!!!! Carol, you are in such trouble!!!!!

Guest Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Wolfie I am having problems with the words leading off cow-haven't got any that go off to the left. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
