objecting to the solution | Comment 14 of 15 |
I agree with a lot of the answers given in the solution,
but there is more than one way to solve the puzzle. I
used a lot of different ones than the one given with the
puzzle. For example, in line 7, I used the letter "G"
to create "gaunt" as opposed to the "S" used in the
solution to create the word "saunter". I suppose the
solution's answer is better b/c it makes a longer word,
but mine could also be "gaunter". I didn't think about
it until just now. Anyway, I just wanted to point out
that there are a bunch of different ways to solve it.
