I read on Hot Air that a hangman puzzle was on www.jkrowling.com that would reveal the title, so I went to what has got to be the most aggravating mystery meat navigation site on the planet. I clicked the eraser to get to the hallway, and then clicked and tried everything possible until I finally got to the puzzle. And don’t bother with the plant or the bottles, they’re a waste of time. Finally, I was victorious!! I found the puzzle and solved it. I knew the name! Yay, me. Then, some genius in the Hot Air thread mentioned that he Googled it, and doubtless this is the article he found. ::sigh:: It has directions on how to get to the puzzle, plus the name of the book. If you don’t want to know, don’t click it. But if you do want to know, save yourself the trouble and just swipe the box to reveal the title:
So now we get to chew on that for six months or so while they get the book finished and published. Well, it’s progress, I guess. I haven’t been this hooked on a book series since I was a kid reading Tolkien for the first time.
I tried that. But I could NOT get the key to open the door. How’d you do it?
Maybe you skipped a step. I know at one point I had the key and it didn’t work, but I clicked until other stuff happened, and then the key worked eventually.
According to the Sun Times article linked above, you have to do this stuff in order:
Me, I just clicked like a madwoman, trying everything I could, and as one thing would happen, things would change so I’d click again. Finally it worked. No strategy involved.
I haven’t yet read the first one. I’m a bit uncultured, I’m afraid!
I wouldn’t exactly call that uncultured, Cheryl.
But they are decently written, and the stories have gotten quite good. But if you have leisure time for reading, try checking the first two out of the library and see what you think.
