Word and puzzle, two of my favorite things in the world. Thanks Fleb! But for bigrams, cant we just do it in an easier way? Just find out which 2 letters have an odd number, thats the start/end, then just write out all the other letters once, and do an anagram easily. If there is no letter with odd number, that means the first and the last letter are the same, then we just picked all the letters once and do an anagram, instead of keep of thinking which word combination is more likely.
I loved this one. Thank you.
Brilliant. I'll definitely check out the magazine.
Another puzzle type I've never seen before! Last time I went on a 3 week long star battle bender. Let's see what happens with this heh
My brain was hurting but about midway through, I guessed both 'pierce' and 'encourage' before you finished solving them. So I'm pretty proud of myself.
I had to watch this twice to understand it. I find this pretty difficult to be honest. Interesting, but i think i stick to the metal, wood and twisty puzzles. Great explanation though and a very nice idea to show us all these different puzzles. Thank you!
Wow, this looks like a ton of fun! Thanks for sharing, gotta check this out.
Question, does the puzzles come with answers?
Ayy, I got both of them on my own!
Aw man FLEB, you keep nerd sniping me!! Just bought issue 1. Awesome video as always, thanks for all the new puzzles you introduce us to!
If you know the word is divided in bigrams only, you can generalize the "if a letter appears once, it must be the first or last letter" to "letters which appear an odd number of times must be begin and end letters of the word -- if there are no such letters, the word begins and ends with the same letter".
Both examples in the puzzle use words divided in bigrams. It's unclear how trigrams work. Can a single word be broken down in both bigrams and trigrams? During the solution, this isn't ruled out. But then, how do a bigram and a trigram overlap (Or two trigrams for that matter)? If it's by a single letter, a unique letter in the puzzle does not imply it's the first or last letter of the solution - it could also be the middle a trigram.
That was fun to figure out
Oooh. Looks like I'm gonna be firing up my printer!
This is far to advanced for me. Even with your excellent explanation.
inzizor me too
Great Hard puzzle !
Second Circle Treatise, third circle Deranged
Please come back FLEB you are sadly missed.
I saw the word encourage before he got the word with puzzeling
Such wow!)
Is it only me or if I stare at the letters long enough he words just appear to me? Or is this because I speak English as my second language hmm
non that's what I find interesting about this puzzle. You can kinda get a sense of what the word is gonna be just by looking at it, but at the same time, it sort of misdirects you and you can't be sure until you check it. I was staring at the inner circle at first and was sure the word was gonna be "recipe," but that ended up being completely wrong. Its pretty different from other word puzzles in that way.
@@megaalan12 i saw recipe too, but then once I knew P was first or last letter, I immediately saw pierce.
cool
Fleb, what are your thoughts on NYT crossword puzzles as a puzzle? is it good? too simple for you?
Where can I submit my puzzles and what are the guidelines
nice analysis, but it was obvious it was pierce just by looking at the letters :)
フレッブ、頭良すぎ。裏山。
If a letter appears only once, why could it not be the middle of a tri-gram instead and be pigeon holed into start or end of a word?
Woah
It seems like all of the bi/tri grams when in a clock-wise motion so if knew which letter was next, the next letter after that would have been the one clock-wise to it. It seemed like when you explained it you thought the letters could flow either way.
Pls do some starship battle puzzles
Oh wow I've never been this early before
Best word puzzle ever:
*REDЯUM*
Clearly that's an anagram for dumerr :V
I think it's murder :o
The D is also backwards, but good stuff.
PlayTheMind redyaum?
Completed the sample version on their website too, these are fun
Spoilers below
\/
mi in ne er rm - ermine
on ab oc ca ho ch bo - cabochon
no mi or en it rm ty - enormity
mi us ra in ou am ne gr eo - gramineous
i think third word is grenade.not sure tho
I thought this too at first, but won't you have some bigrams leftover?
Karl Kastor yes just noticed
gonna work on it some more
I think it is deranged
In the first puzzle why can't the "P" be in the middle of a trigram?
Because then it would have been part of 2 bi-grams, meaning you would have seen another "P" in the circle.
So a trigram is overlapped by 2 bigrams, or 4? The instructions were not clear on trigrams. Like, "COPES" could be "CO_OPE_ES" or is it "CO_OP_OPE_PE_ES"?
It doesn't switch back and forth so; It be either Co-op-pe-es OR Cop-pes.
At least that's how I understood it, also watch the explanation you'll see he works out which letter combination makes more sense; Example
If he has Bal and the next batch he has is [e r e l o o]
Bal-ere won't work and is very likely not a word but Balloo looks very good and it could mean the word is verly likely Balloon.
In your example, Cop-pes, o and e are used only once, but don't begin or end the word.
I see what you mean.
I would SUCK at that
ЯƎⱭЯUM
niche is pronounced neesh, not nitch.
'nitch' is an American pronunciation:

Oh man this is the first puzzle I didn't like. So many assumptions. If I assume the wrong thing I'm doomed. I feel like I have to be an english linguist to make these assumptions. There was never a point in time where I was like "I have an idea," or "ok let me pause now and try myself." Full autopilot this time. I guess some word puzzles aren't easily approachable. Still entrataining to follow along though.
Not a fan of this puzzle style. "Not many words like this... so I'll rule it out" meh.
Sorry buddy didnt like this one
