  4. Here is the basic run down. Fit the shapes in the square, unscramble the letters of the shapes, find the words. Shapes stay the same position (not rotated) and the letters of a specific shape will be unscrambled and changed with letters of that same shape. If unscrambled properly all the words can be found.

  6. Just out of curiosity, if say I submit my res and it is chosen to be used in this competition would I still be able to compete since the sign with a word would be on my res?

  7. As of now... Yes as the clue finding part is not as important and will not take nearly as long as puzzle part. It only gives you one word and a clue.

  10. Interesting. I love Tetris, but I'm not sure I could ever solve this XD I barely understand it, too (I'm bad at understanding lol) Maybe when I'll see it I'll get it, but I might want to donate.

  12. I will know once I get the last 6 names. If the names are all 6 letters long it will be small, if names are 14 letters long it will be long, but I will try to keep the names as short as possible.

  16. The current description makes my tiny brain hurt. Are we looking for some sort of coherent sentence? How are these shapes going to be incorporated in residences exactly? Where do we gather all these words? Can you explain it to me like I'm a four-year old, please?

  17. No problem. It is kinda hard to grasp, but once you get it you are like ohhhhh! Okay so there is a grid. You will fill it in with provided shapes ex: a 3x1 rectangle or an "L" shaped figure... so that all the grid is covered (You have to place the shapes in the grid). the shapes have boxes in them filled in with 1 letter in each box ex a 3x1 rectangle has 3 letters in it a 3x2 rectangle has 6 letters in it. You have to correctly place the shapes and unscramble the boxes/letters to be able to find all the words (all the letters of a shape have to stay in that specific shape). Once unscrambled correctly you will be able to find the 12 words of the word find in that grid. I have posted the 1st 6 words and the other 6 will be found out basically in a "treasure hunt". Clues will be placed on various residences. If you go to a res and find a clue you get a word for the Word Find (What ever the residence owner's name is ex: if you find it on my JustinGuy's res one of the remaining 6 words is JustinGuy) and the next clue that leads you to the next word. These clues will be on signs. Once you have all 12 words you have to do what I said above. Put the shapes in, unscramble properly and find all 12 words.

  18. So it sounds like a word jumble, a word search, and a scavenger hunt all in one.

    Am I correct?
