Oh, I like URL changing puzzles and puzzles in general, don't get me wrong. The ones in VSP are just usually too difficult for me and I can't do cryptic crosswords in English.
So far for juggler I mapped out 11 different frames, tried writing down the initial (p, o, g) for the balls in each, translating to binary, anagramming the title, anagramming the balls, the same + r in every frame and looking for synonyms for "mediocre" and "toss" made of o, g, r and p - so mediocre can be "poor" but no clue what "toss" would be. So far, no luck Felicitous

I think this one is too hard, so I've changed something to make it solvable.

Antrax · ESL Student

Oh, I see what you did there. It's a good idea, but I think maybe the title anagram needs to be made more distinct, since there are thousands of results and you can only get the right one if you know to start with "Morse" -- I actually guessed one word was "code" and still didn't find the right anagram. Maybe a title that spells SOS or some other thing that directly rings the Morse association.
Also, how many letters is the solution supposed to be?

Agree that the anagram doesn't work. Bgg had the same issue even with "code" as a starting point. The new clue I gave gets you there a little too easily I think.I'll find something in the middle.

The solution is 6 letters. It used to be much longer, until you accidentally found snakecharmer and I had to change the juggler.

I changed the juggler around a bit again. I think it allows you to get there without making it overly obvious now.

Also, 68 levels now complete.

Yeah, this is better, though I think the comment text is enough (I actually really like it).

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it now. Have you solved the code and made it to 34?

Am I the only one who's gotten hung up on 27?

Antrax · ESL Student

Probably not. Which one is 27?

It's fairly straightforward. This encryption was used in the story that the image name is taken from.

Cool. I'm not familiar with it, but I just looked it up and it should provide fodder for a new level.

Change of tactics here, since we're not getting much action in this thread. I've created almost 100 levels, most of which have never seen the light of day.

If you'd like to start at the beginning, do so here:
Level 0 Link

The solutions to the first 20 levels will be in the first post if you need any assistance.

Many of you have already solved quite a few of these already, so we'll start you off on Level 20, here:
Level 20 Link

From here forward, when you solve a level, post your method of solving and the solution (the new URL) in this thread so that it can be worked on as the next puzzle by the group. This way, people can jump in and out of levels that interest them rather than being forced to solve the whole thing to reach the end.

When a URL is posted, I'll move it to the first post and give credit to the solver. We'll see who can solve the most levels.

I'm recreating this puzzle from scratch thanks to "Great GLPics Crash of 2012."

I've got almost nothing done yet, but eventually I hope to get back to 100 levels. At least I have a favorite saved for each non-working page, so I should be able to remember most of the puzzles to recreate them.

EDIT: I've got 10 levels up and running, but I've reworked most of them from the originals.
