Congratulations on making an intelligent parser! I was going to give this a 3/5 until I realised how good it was. There's nothing that spoils a good game more than a fiddly typing system that needs spot on grammar and spelling so I upgraded my rating to 5.

Not sure if it's on purpose or not, but if you write something wrong, like "2 peas in a pdo" instead of "2 peas in a pod" it still accepts.

Love the idea, however there doesn't seem to be anyway to WIN or LOSE the game.. just amass points which is kind of... ironicaly, pointless.

I must be really stupid because english is my first language and byond like the first 5 or 6 and a few odd ones i couldnt get any of them without using one hint atleast. Some of them are ridiculous, and i know them but from the letters i could enver guess them. How the hell can i tell 64 S on a C means 64 squares on a chessboard?

Never seen a proper 21 Gun salute performed with a handgun... so yea, might want to change that picture to an M1 Garand or really any actual rifle.

words games and english idioms are only good when english is your native language but tasslefoot for what you've helped us all out I'll give every game of you a 5/5

I really thought I was getting the D wrong in 7 D in S W.... I thought it was "Seven domains in star wars". After hitting hint once I was still convinced and kept trying to think of others. Once I got a picture of snow white I face palmed SO HARD.

so much fun - we used to do tons of puzzles like these in grade school, I'd nearly forgotten about them until I saw this game. Good game, though nostalgia may be clouding my judgment.

Confuzzled, you are just uncreative. Testing this game, some of us did fairly well without hints. MrRubix did maybe 90/100 without hints. So don't complain. It's possible.

...Most of these 'puzzles' are statements that happen to be true. This game is a joke. Yes, it is fact that a stop sign has eight sides, but how're you supposed to solve '8 S of a S S' without using a hint? T G is a W of S, T D S W. (This Game is a Waste of Space, Try Developing Something Worthwhile.)

System, I can understand that. Unfortunately with word games like these, English idioms are required. I'm sure you can find some puzzles in your native language if you look around :)
