ReplyDeletePuzzleMe behaviour
ReplyDeleteIf we press the back button and go to prev page and then return, the grid is absent. But if we refresh the page, it returns with solutions still present as entered by us.
Gemini, you’re right. 7d done earlier
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Puzzle Me version. But --
ReplyDeleteThe "Puzzle Me" version does not reveal the correct letters/words. It is a jumble of letters, OR should I say "anagrams of the 26 alphabets."
As PuzzleMe ver does not allow the creator to hide the answer but would allow you to check/reveal answer, the Col, while formatting, must have deliberately entered random letters
DeleteYou can hide the answers. It’s in the options screen available to creators.

ReplyDeleteCongrats Mukundala for still solving it.
ReplyDeleteThis takes me many years back to times at our campus studying engineering course. With due REGARD we did that all right. The PATH WAY was laden with fun. Life at the hostel was like a GAOL BREAK from home. So good that we could ENDURE poorly cooked CAPSICUM pulao, upma that was like a PASTE, diluted TEA on TRAYS. UNTAMED times they were when we lay WAKEFUL watching a dubious flick on a make shit theatre with a 16mm PROJECTOR, pleasure unmatched even by the best seat in STRAND. Ever eager and thirsty to find a WATERing HOLE that our meagre PURSE could afford. PILLAGERS we were at times. It’s OFF SHOOT we were often CLUELESSly gazing at an ALDEBARAN and becoming pale and thin like a GENIE. Our bodies were full of scars on injuries treated with a tinge of tincture of IODINe. This did not leave any CAVITY in our education. We went sharing BERTHS by TRAIN home for study holidays. The results could be EYED with pride. Now OLDER we look back with WARMTH and nostalgia. Our PROGRESS and VALIDITY is established ASAP when you see the pedigree of our alumni stretching across the globe from China to BOSNIA.
