Blotted clues changed by jota

PARTICIPATE!

Waitaminit, there have been at least 3 entries; one was mine.

Nice puzzle. I used find puzzle and counted 10. There is probably a few more.

saw 3 entries dear friend

If you are talking about blotted puzzles I went back and counted 24. The first one which was by Jan was number 19407. If you are talking about something else I apologize for misunderstanding.

Now there are 4 :)

Jota was talking about entries for WCP #115. See the Honors tab at left for details.

Ah Ha. Thanks for the update.

So you guys are awake! What about competing them?

So here seems like as good a place to ask as any: what's the deal with all the "illegal" puzzles?

I'm sorry i've been busy around the house. I've tried making a blotted puzzle but can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone tell me how to do it please.:)

firefly: judges are ineligible to enter the contest, so they label their puzzles "illegal" entries.

Al: On the Create Puzzles screen, there's a new icon you can choose, by the "fill" options. It's a black square with a 2 inside. Click on that, and you can start blotting clues. You'll still need to use the checker, because a solvable puzzle can become unsolvable if you blot the wrong clue.

Thx Kristen,i've tried this but when i go to the checker am i suppose to see the blot? I don't so i figured i was screwing up somehow.:)

Jota: do you enjoy being illegal?

It's fun and I don't harm anyone!

Al after you create your puzzle, you can start blotting clues (as Kristen described) by placing the blotted 2 on the clues, not the puzzle itself.

Thx Jota,that was exactly where i was going wrong,but i finally figured it out.lol.:)

Good one, Jota. You turned a text puzzle into something interesting and a bit artistic. :-)
