[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic]  
I finally got 9 all the one letter answers spell a word

Currently stuck on 10. None of these ever come easy to me. I always over think everything.  
[/QUOTE]

I got to 9, your hint isn’t helping me because I haven’t been keeping track of my other answers - I suppose now I have to go back and write them all down

Yep, it’s addictive. I was stuck on 7, which a lot of people on the weffriddle forums said was asinine. This thread gave me the answer to 7 and now I’m on 9.

Okay, I’m up to 16, with the help of the non-spoiler hints on the weffriddles forums. So very addictive.

Will someone explain to me why the answer to 7 is the answer to 7?

I only got it by guessing. And I did a shitload of googling.

There’s a letter missing from one of the titles. There’s nothing to Google.

Finding the first answer is cheap, I got mad when my roommate got in in 30 seconds when I’d been trying stuff for 5 minutes - when you find it, you type it in in the URL.

Like [www.hello.com/youranswer.html](http://www.hello.com/youranswer.html) Each time you’re changing what’s before the .html.

Hint to get you off of Level 1:

Think about what the bolded text says, but don’t think too hard. For this one, think of it in ‘internet’ terms

I can’t get past Level 10.

Can you solve this one if you don’t have a cell phone?

You can probably solve it just by googling for a clear picture of a phone face. You don’t have to dial anything, you just have to be able to see the letters.

The text is a list of titles of Edith Wharton books. You might have to enlarge the text to read it clearly. One of the titles has the first letter missing.
