I'm annoyed, right from the example puzzle. Shouldn't the solution be the suggested phrase, rather than the literal interpretation of the elements of the puzzle? Shouldn't it be "MAN OVERBOARD," rather than "MAN OVER BOARD"? Or at least also be accepted as the answer?

In my opinion I think you should be able to skip up to 3 ahead so you can do others, shake one off and then go back to it. I'm currently stuck but I know it's not because it's the hardest i can do.

oh god... when making such games, make sure to strip out all punctuation and spacing from the answer before checking it for correctness, and accept all the synonyms you can think of. overboard is one word, by the way.

I failed on sandbox because it has to be two words…sand…box…
This it not worth it. I just end up randomly guessing pieces of words with spaces here and there.

Sometimes the positioning of the symbols is a clue to the answer. Sometimes the spelling of the words is a clue to the answer. Sometimes you need to say what you see out loud.

Fifty old tired rebuses, but I suppose that some folks will not have seen some of them a thousand times. Anyway make your code more tolerant. To know the answer perfectly well but have it rejected because you insist on "half hearted" and not "halfhearted" or "half-hearted" (the latter actually being correct) is bad form.

jack in the box (wrong), jack-in-the-box (wrong)...Jack in the box (correct)...some answers were just a pain trying to figure out what you wanted us to spell, otherwise, quick and fun little brainteaser game.

I keep expecting a cursor in the text box, and I concur with all the other comments about inconsistent multiple or single words like "over board" or "overboard".

some basic rebuses, annoying pedantic use of spaces in accepted answers, different logic between problems - man over board, then not chef over e or chef on e? needs consistency and multiple correct answers like man overboard and jack in a box

If you press enter while on level selection, you can be taken to non-existing levels of the game. I think this is how people got 51 high score

On Puzzle 42, I'm not super sure how you're expected to get that last letter from the puzzle? Like, the first bit I understand getting, but there's nothing in the puzzle indicating the last letter. (also, I really loved puzzle 50)
This was a fun game! I really love visual puzzles, so it was very satisfying.

Those are hardly all the odds. There are an infinite number. You might put, there, a regex expression that represents all odd numbers. :-)

I liked the puzzles but you should make your code more tolerant of slight differences in answers (ie the vs a, use of hyphens)

Puzzle 8, the name Jack inside of a square. Jack in a box. No? Jack-in-a-box. No? Jackinabox. No? What is it? The clue says it's obvious but the obvious won't work.

Good game, really got me thinking. Trouble is that some ways of writing the answer (e.g. hole in 1, jack in "a" box) are technically correct, but you don't accept them. Would you please take some time to find as many alternate spellings/answers instead of insisting one way?

Awesome game! The last level was good. I kept saying "P in G, P on G" over and over again until I thought about the actual letters >.<

Other than the other 'help me' comments, I thought this was a welcome addition to the site. Been a long time since I have done such puzzles (makes me want to break out my old board game 'Whatzit?'). But rather well done (for most of the puzzles), but some are just completely out of the box (like the Wicked Whatzits...). Other than that, a refreshing change from the norm. Good job.
