    Okay, new puzzle!!! I see you guys want a word search, so I will give you one. They are a bit hard to "grade", so bear with me if I take a while to check it. Also, during the time it takes me to grade, feel free to post yours, just in case the first one is wrong. Also, I made it a it hard to solve, with completely crazy words. THEY ARE REAL WORDS! Just put a THIN line through the word, using a paint program. PLEASE, DO NOT CIRCLE THE WORD. Also, send me back a copy of the word list, but using the TEXT tool in paint, mark the co-ordinates of the first letter of the word. The rows and columns are numbered already, use those numbers. EXAMPLE: If the first letter of the word is in row (side number) 5, and column (top number) 8, write "[5--8]" next to the word you just found. This will make my life easier and "grading" quicker. SORRY, BUT I WILL NOT COUNT IT IF THIS IS NOT CLEARLY MARKED. Post both photos using tiny-pic to upload them.

    Prize: $1,750 --- EDIT $2,500!!!! (A bit more exciting now)

    P.S. If you have won, but not gotten your prize, and I'm online, let me know pronto, and I'll fix it.

    I've used discombobulated, palindrome, spelunking, and syzygy before. Everything else I have no idea. I wonder what a "poodle faker" is

    Poodlefaker

    A man who habitually chooses to socialize with women.

    I may put out a second puzzle, because I realize this one is very hard. But I need to come up with one. You guys pick - a group of different numbrix's, or a Sudoku? first one with 2 votes wins.

    That took me a good 40-45ish minutes where all I did was state at the screen and not blink. LOL I have a weird love of word searches. Love to do them all the time
