This one is so hard I almost killed myself trying to solve it! Great job coming up with this one.

Tendencies was not a problem. Sewer was reasonble. Sidle was difficult because who would really think it is among the synonyms of creep. But the hints were useful. Very creative.

Thanks all.. it was a bit of work to get it to do what I wanted and it is tough to always get it completely watertight... I'm pleased you enjoyed it though - thanks for the comments.

That's so amazing! How did you come up with something like that? I wouldn't have the time!!

Posted by dsquared02/23/03
Tricks of language and my brain tend to go hand in hand Jiminy... honestly I scare myself sometimes with some of the things that come out of my noggin. I do enjoy spending time on a teaser though to try and get it as tight and 'clever' as possible. Thanks for stopping by ;P .

As an editor who has read every one of Dsquared's submissions, I would like to add that it frightens me, too. ;)

Posted by dsquared02/24/03
LOL!... Now they know the truth Bob, you didn't have to go tell 'em that :P .

Nicely done, but quite challenging. I couldn't solve it ... :oops:

Posted by dsquared05/24/04
Thanks everyone for stopping by and adding your thoughts :D .

Really well thought out, but don't wolves live in lairs and foxes live in dens? I would have got it quicker but was wondering what lairseas was representing :lol:

Posted by dsquared05/28/06
Pretty sure wolves live in a den as well... Den of wolves is an expression I've heard. I can certainly see where your confusion came in though :wink:
