This is a puzzle



I tried both braintease and brainteaser and was starting to wonder what the fuck was going on.

Well I had no problem but maybe that's because I found quandary before the spangram. That made it pretty obvious.

I found brainteaser using riddle as well first. Then eventually figured out I could turn left instead. I also made things harder for myself by spelling "quandry".

I found quandary first. And yeah, BRAINTEASER threw me off after I found the fake one. I don't know if the placement was intentional given the theme or what.

I got stuck on the spangram for a while because I couldn't believe it wasn't brainteaser. Finally went the other way and got it but was still surprised that it didn't end on a side. Not sure I've seen that before.

Oh, I got REALLY lucky in the beginning. I noticed "bean," but accidentally entered "beani" and noticed another "e" next to it. After that it was easy.

My prediction: a lot of people are going to be complaining "what the fuck is a beanie?"

I immediately thought of the slang and started looking for words about lying

It clicked right away after the hint though. I think it's cool that the spanagram is in the shape of a hat

I kind of had an idea of the theme, but I just flatout didn't know enough of the related words to figure it out.

I did see Trent in there though. I went looking for topic, but I couldn't find it.

I don't get it.

The theme is based on sheet music. The lines on a musical sheet are called the staff. The items listed are things that can be found on the staff, thus staff members.

To be fair, I too struggled with this one. It wasn't until I found clef that it clicked for me.

That was the hardest one I've tried.

I only got it because I was playing around with the T-I-O-N for a while and got NOTATION.

Can't see many getting the 'staff' reference

This one kicked my butt. I only found 4 of the words on my own. Definitely the one I've struggled with the most so far. Actually had to use 2 hints on my final word which I didn't even know was possible cause I couldn't see it.

For those who don't know (like me 5 mins ago) if you use a hint twice on the same word it then shows you the order the letters go in.

my original thought was maybe military ranks I was looking for sergeant

Spent a lot of time confused before just trying to find any words. My first hit was sharp, and I got the wonderful feeling of knowing exactly what the theme was, while knowing that I knew nothing about music. I could have gotten the spangram alot sooner though, since it did just end up being a normal word.

This one took me FOREVER. And that's with having a strong idea of what it was about after finding the second word. I got the first two words rather quickly though. The time between my 2nd word and 3rd word is astronomical lol. Found "Sharp" which initially made me thing TV brands for some reason then found "Flat" which told me music related. I keep looking for the spangram to be something like sheetmusic or something. After giving up, finally visualized sheet music in my head and started thinking about what goes on it. Thought of "clef" then searched and found it. Thought "Note" next but it didn't trigger. Then figured notation and that it must be the spangram. Still took me a while to get the rest of the words because words I'd look for weren't there.
