- I K Snamhcok 1s · 2022-09-28T14:54:20.889ZFor me, doing a fun meta is as satisfying and relaxing as a good massage. Thanks, Cap’n!
- Glad you enjoyed it, Chris.
- Sharkicicles 1s · 2022-09-28T21:38:25.353ZWell I just realized the origin of that username…
- boharr 4s · 2022-09-28T16:23:24.168ZAnd all the time I thought you wanted to turn Baden Baden into SPA! LOL
- Sharkicicles 1s · 2022-09-28T21:37:56.307ZNice nice!
- Bbaack 🤓11:23 · 2022-09-28T23:41:16.692ZDo this meta chop chop? Aye-aye, Cap'n!
- Tom Wilson 🤓5:14 · 2022-09-29T01:01:21.377ZI made it (after a "slight" detour to another locale altogether). A very nicely constructed and satisfying endeavor, which certainly bears repeating. Thank you, Cap'n!
- Well, I was assuming it'd be much harder.Is Etc. Etc. not part of it.
- Well, I originally rated it a level 2, but folks seemed to be having difficulty. ETC would have only been part of the mechanism if BAT BAT (its symmetrical opposite) made any sense, which it doesn't.
- Oh... two things I failed to notice when I solved. 1) Rotational symmetry (I really should look more... it makes things easier) 2) My submission of BADEN was accepted and I felt "that's okay but off" but realize now the actual answer should have be BADEN BADEN which is brilliant! and spot-on! Maybe you shouldn't have made BADEN an acceptable answer. Of course, my brain last night might have tried other paths and got frustrated.
- Accepting both answers was a coin flip. I decided to accept both since solvers would have had to have discovered the mechanism in either case.
- It would have been fair to not accept BADEN. Although the mood I was in when I solved it I'd have probably spent 5 more hours trying to shoe-horn "etcetera etceteta" into it.
- Ergcat 11:38 · 2022-10-01T03:28:15.695ZSame here! I submitted Baden and realized later it should have been “Baden Baden” which makes sense!
- Tyrpmom 4s · 2022-09-29T02:56:16.678ZPro level meta. Thanks.
- So this puzzle inspired me to create this odd little meta for a completely different take:
- Thanks, Rick. Enjoyed this one!
- Carolyn 3s · 2022-09-30T02:02:33.155ZLoved it! Thanks so much.
- Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-10-01T00:02:06.395ZThat answer certainly fits the title. I had all the right letters, but couldn't get them to spell a word. Should have thought of "echoing"!! Thanks!!
- Ergcat 11:38 · 2022-10-01T03:26:09.407ZLiked this one, Cap’n Rick! I Figured the mechanism but couldn’t get the synonyms/letters in the right order for a while there.. so you may see some strange “guesses”! Sorry! Thank you for a clever puzzle!
- You're welcome, Ergcat! I've seen a lot of strange guesses on this one.
- Laura M 🤓9:00 · 2022-10-01T06:14:55.083ZFinally just got to this. Clever!
- ReB 7s · 2022-10-02T01:20:01.236ZWent one step too far with my first answer (SPA) then backed off to BADEN BADEN. Needed the third nudge to find all five echoes, Once I saw DUNGEON, it was just a matter of finding the other four. (Had to google CHOW CHOW). Also had to google BADEN BADEN to determine if it was an appropriate echo that would fit the prompt. [BADEN reminded me of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, and, in turn, camping trips. Not quite sure if they would qualify as relaxing places, though.]Clever idea for a mechanism.
- Thanks, ReB. Glad you liked the mechanism. I did not know Lord Baden-Powell. Scouts honor!
- another fun puzzle!! i wasn't familiar with baden baden, and instead of original answer order i did repeated clue order so i was like what is BENAD? it looks like it could almost be BED AND B(reakfast) and those are relaxing so incorrectly guessed B&B whoops
- Thanks for solving, Philip. And you weren't the only one to fall into the B&B rabbit hole.
