If you’ve put in someone’s code and you then want to revert, is there any way to do so? Someone put up a fully solved one on another page, and now there’s none left for me to guess ☹ ---

Definitely two new ones in the “Magazines” box, though they don’t lead to anything. Maybe more; I’m not sure exactly how much was in some of the merges I grabbed.

Okay, bed time (actually bed time was two hours ago). Anyway, here’s what I ended up with. I think it includes everyone’s merges. I’ve only added a couple more, but I did push into one more box on the mini map (south of comic books).

I have a couple in the top-left corner, one at the border of magicians and clock, and one in poker. Let’s try to say what we’re adding (or at least, where), so others don’t have to hunt for the new clues. ---

To make this clear, I think maybe we should have sequence numbers. That is, merge them all, call it merge 1. Next person to add creates merge 2. And so on. That way it won’t get confusing if one person works off a different set of merges - we should have one, definitive copy at all times. For that matter, did Chronos just add to Green Eyed Stranger’s complete list? So is his the definitive one? ---

FWIW, here’s the game I’ve been working on for almost to weeks now: [Scru’s Game](http://shygypsy.com/farm/p.cgi?state=ppojkhmmbnboddnpgbokpmjnckcbndcpepdhihmdhdmnjppnppppkpnpflphhppacoppnodkpngmmhippaaabpjphaddhaaaaaaepppolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa&style=wbxauyzrwuauyjsxtdvaqdtpyqebjqxyuzcztuvjzpdzcyfyvocyxsreqtdyxmlzdbdzhjga&i=0&j=3&cmd=guess&guess=+) Hopefully that will help some on your collaborative game, which appears you’ll have solved soon. There is a ‘meta-puzzle’, made up of clues in the four corners. The ‘Hints’ link in the upper right hand corner has more info on completing the game. Don’t worry, the ‘hints’ feature won’t give you any clues on specific boards or words; it’s just a tutorial on how to play. ---
