Beau Posted April 5, 2007 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.

Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Thanks for the link. Have given it a go and still have many spaces to fill. I think I will be dreaming about it in my sleep tonight. Already used online dictonary and google!! At least it is good brain gym!!!! Quote
Guest Wolfie Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Now WHY OH WHY did you have to introduce me to that!!!! As if I haven't got enough to do!!! Quote
aliamch Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Oh dear, even less time for housework now! Karrie Quote
Beau Posted April 5, 2007 Author 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. Quote
aliamch Posted April 5, 2007 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
alis2son Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 not doing too well, seem to have run out of ideas! Google hasnt come up with anything i didnt have already. Quote
Rea Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Oh no. No way. Remember this one??? zookeeper Not going there again in a hurry thank you Beau Quote
Marion Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Not sure I dare look that's my reading forgotten ! Quote
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Im obviously being really thick,because i can't even start it,saying that it has been a long long day! Dawn Quote
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 I had run out of animals - and they it dawned on me that no-where does it ask for just animals! Quote
belle06 Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 oh no sleep will need to get out the matchsticks very addictive Quote
aliamch Posted April 5, 2007 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
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 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
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 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
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 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
Rea Posted April 6, 2007 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
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 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!! Quote
Beau Posted April 6, 2007 Author 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. Quote
aliamch Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Ok I know its sad, but I just have to say I've just completed the farm map.YIPEE! Karrie Quote
Guest Wolfie Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I can't think of ANY more words to lead off "cow"!!!!! Quote
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 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
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 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!!!!! Linda Quote
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 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
