Netflix already costs over $185 a year. For that price I can rent 6 5k UHD movies a month at redbox and get much higher quality viewing. I can't find 6 good things to watch any given month on Netflix. I might turn my membership back on for the final season of Cobra Kai or Stranger Things, but there's just not much else that's compelling me to spend that money.

Pigs can't fly unless you add an eon of evolution. And if you keep reading you'll see that the eon has already been added making it pigeon.

Usually I just share them with a few teachers in a discord I'm on. Basically I wrote the software a while back when a teacher friend of mind mentioned wanting to make some. I always enjoyed doing the puzzles and figured why not write a program to generate them. I've shared the program with a few friends as well so others have been posted around.

I've been posting some pretty regularly in this community though.

As someone who makes these puzzles, I'm interested in the thoughts on this. I personally like creating red herrings or garden path entries and have done it on plenty in the past. It didn't even occur to me that someone might consider it a cheap trick or disingenuous until I saw this post. That's why the ones I've posted on Lemmy haven't had those intentionally.

That being said, if some users like the extra challenge I'm happy to add a few red herrings into my puzzles in the future.

damn I didn't catch those. I'll have to fix it and repost. Thanks for catching those.

Fixed and updated - note that the fixes completely regenerate the puzzle so the old solutions no longer work.

Solutions for those that want it.

Don't take it too personally, there's no particular metric to these. I just pulled from a list of cities and by the time I got to the "S"s I was getting close to 100 and didn't want to push it much further

Hope you all enjoy. I love creating these. I have a solutions file if anyone needs it, but I'll refrain from posting it right away - unless the community would rather have it available.

Enjoy, and happy new year!

FYI, it's kind of a baby picture. I'll take some current pictures and post them soon.

Saw the Juvenile post and felt it needed a companion post for an adult.

One of my favorite photos.. I took this photo with a Pentax K-70 and the kit 18-135mm lens at 18mm f3.5 and a 30 second exposure.
