No, because your solution didn't work due to proper nouns.
If anyone else wants to try... Hell, I'll give you another shot too, since I let this one sit for so long... |

Say... any chances of us seeing a new puzzle sometime soon? |

If it's capitalized, then it's a proper noun. It's a name from the Bible.
The first step would be "In No Cent" not "In Nocent" but I'm being lenient as this is the first time and I didn't give an example of three words at once. Grond is an acceptable word. I was worried about "ter" for a moment, but it was okay. |

Nope. As always, you have to go one step at a time, and each step has to be a word. |
| Reshaper256 Posts: 64/196 |
Is it legal to change a word just to separate it, even if it doesn't make a word before you do?
For example: orange so range 'sorange' isn't a word, but 'so' and 'range' are both words, so could I do this? And if I can do that, could I do this? so range syringe Neither 'sy' nor 'ringe' are words, but together they make the word 'syringe', so would *this* be okay? |

Only these two in a whole week? No one thought of using "hive"? AND "zer" isn't a word?

Anyway. Starting here, I'm introducing another kind of puzzle. Actually, a not very sneaky way of using longer words. It'll look like this: Puzzle Whatsit: Nothing > Blackboard Ordinarily, and I'm sure you'll agree, this would be an impossible puzzle. However, the idea here is that you split each word into two or more component words, using each letter exactly once, without changing the order of the letters. No Thing Then, solve each of them like a normal puzzle... No Thing Not Thin Sot Than Sat Tan
Sac Ban Sack Bar Lack Boar Black Board ...and join them together. (Though the number of steps here matches, it doesn't need to.) Blackboard It'll be up to you when you need to use this. You're not limited to breaking and joining words at the start and end of a puzzle- Sometimes you will want to do it in the middle. I'm bored of small numbers, so puzzles are now worth 4 points for a single winner, 2 each if there are two winners, and 1 each if there are three or more. Good luck!

Hey, guess what? "EAC" is not a word, it's an acronym.
