Yeah. Now everyone will.

P.S. That and this are with elbows.

P.P.S. Everything before this is with elbows. I used the caps lock key for capital letters.

P.P.S. I didn't use a conventional elbow sharpener, though. tongue

bobbym, this is with my right elbow.

A world that can copy? Visionary but tantalizing...

P.S. That prior post would almost qualify for that fifth-glyph-in-all-words topic.
P.P.S. My post would qualify for that non-fifth-glyph topic.

Regarding "mystery word or phrase": anyone know of any good lists?

Sorry...I don't. For my puzzle in post #31 I just made one up that kept to the maths theme (I'm just waiting now for someone to solve the puzzle and to reveal the mystery phrase).

Mystery text needs to be fairly long (the one in my puzzle has 24 letters), because typically word search puzzles leave quite a few unused letters. The quantity of such letters will depend upon the mix of words and their length, and the cleverness of the program at intertwining those words while incorporating a good balance of word directions.

The number of letters in the mystery text should equal that of the unused letters, but if that's too difficult to automate maybe blanks could be used in the grid to help out. I've not seen that done before, but it might be an idea.

If anyone wants to solve it in a smaller version, here. It's not perfectly readable, but I partially fixed it.

P.S. The second image's fun. Just enter one "word" made of the same letter repeated in the "Load Words" Then you win easily.

P.P.S. The images were switched, the one mentioned in P.S. is the first one.

Shouldn't the title be Country and Western Songs?

This is what happens when you close the window for picking the level the first time it appears. Maybe make it so that you can't close it the first time it appears?

In the picture below, I typed several names for languages in those languages. As you can see, the words stand out plainly. I can see why you wouldn't use the Greek, Chinese, and Korean characters, but maybe the ç in français and the ñ in español if the user types them in? Just asking.

P.S. As you can see in the next picture, the Greek letters are converted. If that was changed, maybe add ε, λ, η, and ά?

In some forum skins, this text is nearly invisible. Highlight the text.

Cool! I doubt anyone else knew all those colors. Looks like I won't need the Hexadecimal Colors tool anymore to get the right color!

Hi;

Here is what I do. It doesn't work on all the forums that use latex but it works here.

What happens if you \Huge and \HUGE?

Interesting... It works with Huge, but not HUGE or Tiny.
