It tells me I’ve completed it correctly.

But 4Down is difficult to pronounce.

I think you just aren’t trying hard enough with your pronunciation.

😂

4 down? Employ?

Pudmyboy · 30/11/2024 03:25

Wow, I have completed that without noticing that glaring error @PointsSouth ! I got a 'completed correctly ' message too! Well spotted!

???

Oh - ok I see it now. But in crossword puzzles, 4 down would be the fourth word down - which in this puzzle is employ.

The numbers in this puzzle relate to letters, not answers.

WMTST

Is that the one you mean ?

Lillixyng · 30/11/2024 07:20

WMTST how can you be that alert at 3 am

Sorry, my ‘normal’ crossword brain kicked in and I read 4 at the top. It’d be 5 Down.

Could it possibly be Welsh 😀

TeenGreenBottles · 30/11/2024 08:36

You obviously didn't try hard enough at school if you don't have that word in your normal vocabulary.

It's The West Midlands School of Tae-Kwon-Do

Rhymes with sauce for anyone on the thread about things we’ve just learned 😉

5th word down with a 4 at the top

So... not 4 down then.

It's not a long thread. Yours is the 15th reply. You didn't need to read much more to see that I had figured it out.

Fairly sure I've seen Wmtst as a suggestion on the baby names board before.

Lillixyng · 30/11/2024 07:20

WMTST how can you be that alert at 3 am

I had stomach ache from over-stuffing my face at a 'do', best resolved by getting up and sitting upright (not in bed). All better now!

What do the numbers mean? I don't get this puzzle. It looks like a crossword but the numbers are wrong.

It's like a code breaker I think

It’s in today’s as well!

Tagyoureit · 08/02/2025 09:30

It's there today!!

I've just googled WMTST thinking I'm obviously a bit thick before finishing my first coffee as i have no idea what WMTST means and found this thread! 😂😂

MamaBobo · 08/02/2025 09:55

Nothing to add to the thread other than to thank you for bringing the fact that there are puzzles on MN to my attention! How did I not know this???

tilypu · 08/02/2025 09:56

Apparently it's a book club for members of The Satanic Temple West Michigan.

Can't think that's a proper English word though...
