Middle Earth Crossword Puzzle

Elanor · 12-13-2005, 10:25 PM

A challenge for all you trivia buffs: I've made a javascript crossword puzzle based on LotR, the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion. Check it out: Middle Earth Crossword Puzzle. If you can solve it, you'll be recognized here.

Please let me know if you find any mistakes or bugs!

Yee-haw! I solved it !

*beams proudly* GREAT crossword, Elanor!!

(though I had some incorrect letters when I automatically hit ó or á - letters present in the Hungarian keyboard...

)

Telcontar_Dunedain · 12-14-2005, 04:09 PM

I completed it. That's brilliant Elanor.

Elanor · 12-14-2005, 10:14 PM

terrific. Yes, I thought about including the accented letters, but a lot of people wouldn't know how to get them. Did you guys submit your names? I'm supposed to get an email when people do, but I haven't gotten any.

Uh, well, I did... and it even said something like "registered" or "sent", IIRC...

But I loved it anyways. It made me realize how insane I am, when from things like Slowcoach or Where they make the toys I immediately realized the solution...

Drove my bro crazy by reading it out loud and pondering about the trickier ones... (because 1. he's just started learning English, 2. he's not such a ME-nut as me, so not much of it made sense to him at all.)

Telcontar_Dunedain · 12-15-2005, 01:41 PM

Okay, I did it again, and sent off the little winner box thing.

***Earniel*** · 12-15-2005, 04:49 PM

Fun fun!

There were a few words I couldn't remember for the life of me. So I.. um... cheated with the hints.

Elanor · 12-15-2005, 05:27 PM

Yay, I got a notification for Earniel! Good job, and that's why I made the hints feature.

***Earniel*** · 12-15-2005, 05:36 PM

Yes, it's ..um.. very conventient.

Same with the 'check letter' feature.

JTB · 12-20-2005, 11:42 PM

I completed alot of it. I didn't get some of the trickier ones, but I should have if I used Silmarilion, but I'm too tired.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 12-22-2005, 07:13 AM

I didn't use the hint feature but I did check every letter as I did it.

Elanor · 12-24-2005, 12:47 PM

Hm.... maybe I'll turn that off!

LadyHaleth · 01-08-2006, 08:32 PM

I printed out the puzzle and was doing it (mostly without the books, eheh) this afternoon. And I wanted to check some of my answers... But it just tells me to keep trying,

So, where is this hint feature? I'm feeling sort of cheated out of help.

Elanor · 01-10-2006, 06:41 PM

Well, I turned it off. If you PM me I'll tell you how to get it back again though.

Or you could ask a question on here about a word or two.

katya · 01-14-2006, 02:29 AM

Ok, I`ve got 5 left (except if I solve one of them it will complete another) and I`m kinda stuck. I think almost all the ones left are from the Hobbit and I don`t have it with me so I can`t even look it up. And no hints of word checks either. I did most of it without looking things up (well over half anyway) which actually is really scary. Yeah, like the "slowcoach" one for example, haha. I love "Denethor`s special warm place" too. Funny.

EDIT: Yes!! Finally got it! I used the books a little and maybe one or two I found the answers on Entmoot somewhere, but I was suprised how well I did without. That so rocks. Great puzzle! That was way fun!

Ok, I had to look up 35%. That means 65% without looking up. Funny though, some I looked for in the books, couldn`t find, and then it came to me later. And some I didn`t look up at all- they just got filled in when other words were found. And I counted those as looked up.
