I’ve been stuck on 12 forever. I can’t get the stupid “blinds” to move and Firefox refreshes too quickly to get a good look at what’s loading behind the window. Any help? I’m not ashamed to just take the answer in a spoiler box. Thanks. ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] 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. [/QUOTE] I’m still not getting past Level 10. Any other hints would be greatly appreciated. ---

[QUOTE=BraheSilver] I’m on number 13. I’m not sure what I need to look up. Google is not helpful as to the meaning of \*?$. A programming term, I’m sure, but I can’t find out what it is! [/QUOTE] Those symbols aren’t anything but icons to show you how many letters the answer is. What you need to find it what those letters are. Going to the uc site itself helps. Just look at the picture for a bit and it should come to you what you need to search on that site > [@anyrose](#): > > on the Weffriddle forums - how do I know which “batch” to look in? Batch one has numbers one to, I think 29. Batch 2 goes from 30 to x (dunno what it goes up to). Each batch takes the next 10 or 20. > [@Max the Immortal](#): > > Okay, I’m up to 16, with the help of the non-spoiler hints on the weffriddles forums. So very addictive. Weren’t levels 14 and 15 hard but clever? Man I had the hardest time figuring them out but once I did I think I became a fan of weffriddles for life. ---

Just got 13. read what’s on the clock. Not the time, just the text. Google that text. Look at the urls. The symbols are just place keepers for three letters in the url for what you’re googling. ---

Good luck on 14, **Dio**. That one, I thought, was the hardest so far. I just passed level 17 and am laughing…it was incredibly simple (like most of these seem to be) but just so cleverly hidden. ---

and now I’m stuck on Level 15. Or, rather “level 15…?” Any hints? I’ve read the forums, even, and I’m just as clueless as I was. ---

[QUOTE=Scribble] and now I’m stuck on Level 15. Or, rather “level 15…?” Any hints? I’ve read the forums, even, and I’m just as clueless as I was. [/QUOTE] Yep, that’s level 15. Here’s a small hint first Think about what you just did to advance from level 14 And a bit of a bigger one if you ever need it It has something to do with the photo and changing a word again ---

Hey Idle Thoughts - I hate you. [sup]\*[/sup] I will never get back the last two hours I spent getting to level 16. I quit because it seems like there’s more than 50 of these and I don’t have the time to waste. [sub]I kid. I don’t really hate you. I hate me for not being able to let a riddle go without knowing the answer. [/sub] ---

Thank you, though. I do know what I was supposed to do and how to find it. I just couldn’t get the file. Does this mean you’re passed 19, though, **Dio**? If so, good job! **brewha** , actually from what I’ve read, there’s about 60 of them in total…which another batch coming out in a few weeks. 😃 ---

I just passed 25. There’s a run of about 4 or 5 that are all pretty easy. ---

Yeah, like level 20. Man, just when I thought I’ve seen the easiest one, another one always comes along to dethrone it.
