Time for another one of these rulebreakers - this time, your goal is not only to figure out the rule, but to force me to spell...erm..."a certain word" which will end the puzzle. No, not those words....this is a family forum. You have to get me to spell out "$poiler" in order to solve the puzzle (with an S, of course). As usual, if you are going to ask questions about the rule itself, please ask them in italics. I will answer these questions in italics, and they will not follow the rule. And the content of the post is relevant to the rule. On your mark...get set... Get crackin'!!! | ||

What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of wife? Do you have a wife? Do you have a husband? Do you have a wife and a husband simultaneously? Is this a real rule breaker? Or is it a government conspiracy like Iran claims 9/11 is? | ||

I think I'm missing something obvious. Numbers and symbols get an O or D, one-letter words get I or L, twos get R or Z, threes get E, fours get P, A or R, etc. I wonder if you made a mistake with gregoryuconn? Hmmm ... got to be something obvious. Not numbers on mobile phones, is it? | ||

Not a problem. The first thing I did was take each word, and count up the number of letters in the word. Numbers and symbols were not counted. I then took the number and translated it into a letter using leetspeak. If a number could represent more than one letter, I picked randomly; however, if it were possible to spell "SPOILER," I did so. So, for instance, take this post: What is the meaning of life? Count up the letters: 4 2 3 7 2 4 Use leetspeak to translate: RZELRA (PRETZR would have also worked, among others) Or the answer: "close resistant #¤%#% A C now increasingly?" Count letters: 5 9 0 1 1 3 12 Use leetspeak to translate: SPOILER Does that help? Or should I say, 0035 7447 4319? | ||
