This one has me completely stumped, i have tried all combinations i could think of, anagram convertors, everything, nothing works.

[Clicky]

never mind, i figured it out, deciple pointed me in the right direction

[PheonixZoid]

Ok Now I need help, I have the words but the letters in balls don't make a word.

[AtkinsSJ]

Positioning.

[McMonkeyMcBean]

You have to unscramble the letters in the balls to find the answer.

[Deciple_of_Dumb]

First unscramble the words, then take whatever is left in the red circles and unscramble those into a word. It's like those Jumble puzzles in newspapers.

I can't figure out what lowsne is unscrambled! Can someone give me a clue?

EDIT: Whoops! I thought the C was an E! Now its obvious...

[Anonymous]

so i got lowsnc but can you help me with the other ones?

[regeneratorizer]

WOOT! i finally got it!

i never played the puzzle in the newspaper, but i looked at the directions today, and i did it here, and it worked! hooray! now i can unlock more puzzles i cant do and make my brain implode!

[Anonymous]

does the answer have anything to do with the words you have to unscamble?

[tequitofoot]

you unscramble the words, then get the letters in the circles, then unscramble that word, but I cant unscramble portehgti and grtmonnsa... someone please PM me

[tequitofoot]

nvm... I feel stupid, I just decided too look at all the words I had solved so far and saw the theme :roll:

If like me you can't be bothered working out anagrams try this site.

Thanks to earlier posts that helped me out.

ok well i worked out what all the word are and there is a link, but the circled words have absolutely no meaning i swear!!! no matter what order i put them in there is no one word they make!! any help would be appreciated!!! :)

[wEiRdO]

I've unscrambled the six words, but don't know where to go from there.

[jusme]

I absolutely cannot figure out what the last word is unscrambled, I have been thinking about it for awhile and my brain is about to explode. I threw the letters into an acryonm solver and it finds nothing. I even tried putting the other unscrambled words into Google Sets to see what other items it could come up with in the same vein as the previous answers, and it blew up. Could someone please just PM me a hint, or the answer?

[jusme]

Nevermind, I figured out that in lowsnc for example, the nc are circled in red, so I thought that meant that when I unscramble the word, the letters 'N' and 'C' are supposed to be used in the final word. But I realized that didn't make sense because then why would you need to unscramble the other words, you already know which letters are going to be used to solve the final word. So then [snip!]. Of course I've never done one of these puzzles before so that's why I was slow on figuring that out ;).

[ruthlesscrit]

I was happy that you posted that hint, jusme, because this had been driving me nuts, and now I got it (so thank you). But i think that is closer to a spoiler than a hint....

[jusme]

I thought it was more of a general rule on how to play the game. If you don't know the rules of those jumble games then you're just screwed.

[ironmonkey]

ok...i've unscrambled the words and know the theme....but the letters that fall into the red dots don't spell a word!!! should the red dots move within the word??? are the remaining letters part of 2 words???? help!!!

[crassycatz]

the red dots should stay exactly where they are to start with
and all puzzles on dumb have one word answers so if it was two words then you know its wrong and to try again :)

[andyk]

if you cant find the words out try an anagram solver [google it]

[mama bujbuj]

Um, something's not working. I thought this would be soooo easy. I knew what the deal was, unjumbled the words, picked out the letters based on the red circles' positions, and came up with a series of letters that do not make a single logical word, even in a variety of anagram finders online. Can someone pm me or...?
TIA!

[Sea_Mystery]

I'm totally lost. I have read the forums but I can't get this. I have all the words, and know the theme. I would like an additional push in the right direction, since I must have had a major brain reboot.

[Mossysox]

Reread the post immediately above yours.

[Sea_Mystery]

Ok, thanks...that helped more than you'll ever know. I finally got it. I can't beleive that I looked over that soooooo many times.

[clue_clue2006]

thanx nel
