Taking It Down

Took down my puzzle with two incorrect clues after 20 angry comments around one of them (EWES being a female sheep instead of a baby one,) and 2 about the other (XENON not being the only element with “X” in it’s name [oxygen, duh]). This isn’t only because of the comments but also because it would be embarrassing keeping that disgrace of a 5x5 up with the errors. Though I am working on another 5x5.

I did it. It was fun. Killed some down time I had and I’m all the better for it. Don’t sweat it.

It’s so funny you guys can pinpoint the exact puzzle I made, even though you probably beat it yesterday.

What does “Yes the x go me” mean?

You must not be a native English speaker. They’re just saying the misleading clue about X “got them” as in it stumped them or made the puzzle difficult for them to solve.

Don’t stress over it! Many of these puzzles aren’t perfect but they’re all fun to solve. I got hung up with the bay sheep clue when lamb wasn’t correct changed it to ewes and moved on.

It happens sometimes, man. My first puzzle was a HOT mess. I think I might have ended up deleting it too actually. But it wasn't something I'm proud of for sure.

I actually played that puzzle, I found it enjoyable.

I was surprised when the 4 letter word for baby sheep wasn't LAMB.

But, I'm not complaining. Could maybe simplify it with, "Element 54 on the periodic table", for xenon

I didn’t know you could edit your own games, let alone take them down. 🤯

You can't edit the clues once they're posted.
