Solving Word Equations-- you will need to refer to the final bank of 20 pictures below to help solve.

Example solution for Puzzle 01- AIR's word equation: (see first attached image below)
(numbers by each picture are how many letters are in the word you must figure out)

TOAST + MOON - TOMATO = ?
TOASTMOON - TOMATO
(TOA)S(TMO)ON (the letters in bold are the letters to be subtracted from TOASTMOON)

This leaves the letters S, O, and N. Rearrange the resulting letters to make a word. Thus, the answer for Puzzle 1's Word Equation Passcode is "SON". Check over the second image below and check off the matching picture that looks like "SON".

Use the FREE GA area in middle of event to ask EvilBlackSheep for help on word equations puzzles.

You cant subtract mouse from house....

you add words together first then subtract a word from them that takes letters away from both words...

so HOUSE + MONEY - MOUSE = ? Answer: HONEY

Before I begin, I have a question : I'm colorblind. Can I solve the crossword from puzzle 1 "Air"?

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Can you distinguish the colors in the crossword from each other? There are eight different ones. I don't know if colorblind means absolute no colors or red and green look the same for you.
If yes, the hint can lead you to a text, where you can read the correct order. I'm not colorblind, but I had to look for a site, where it's written down nevertheless ;)

8 years ago

Ok I try to explain with my poor english :p There are 7 types of colorblind, I have some of them (deuteranomaly, protanomaly and Tritanomalie), I can't distinguish shades and have some troubles with colors like orange/red/brown/blue/purple/pink etc. For the crossword from puzzle 1 "Air" : 3 and 6 are the same to me / 1 and 8 same / 5 and 7 same.

8 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Ok why not go ahead and solve all the crosswords now while I create a link for colorblind people that will reference all the puzzles with letters by the colors as all the puzzles use colors to refer to exact blocks in each crossword.
