yea

Okay I give on this one; got most of them but don't have the time to think about the others. Thanks for the puzzle! That "a wall is one" two letter word was probably the most annoying clue for me.

 

[KBKarma]

Define "congratulate you". Because I've finished it, and I've got no message. I checked the solution, and it's correct.

That "a wall is one" two letter word was probably the most annoying clue for me.

I had to check four clues. That was one of them. The rest I got from Wiki or Google.

Same here...

Ah. I believe it monitors when you click on the Solution link. I just did it all again from memory, and a message popped up.

errrg... This is a fun puzzle, though I'm stuck about 80% of the way through...

EDIT: I'm ashamed that I didn't get "He's Wrathful" without google...
And would "Wall is one" refer to a wall that's not really real? Say, one mentioned in a song?

Ah, so it does. Thanks for the tip.

Ah, interesting. I didn't realize it made that distinction. Thanks for the clarification.

Think of something that begins with a Wall. It's been in the news. It was in the news in the same way in 1929 *hint*.

And I the Wrathful one was one of the last to get. When I got it, I sat there for a second before laughing out loud.

 

[OneHP]

The wrathful one took me and a mate about 10 mins as well. We thought the last four letters were going to spell...

Kane, so spent some time trying to find the first names of Kane(& Lynch) and Kane(C&C3).

Very solid puzzle. A little tricky too, loved it though.

Tough, I got halfway and then realised I'd have to google the rest. I got Mai's one though.

btw...Wall is one? I know the answer (as I peaked after going through the alphabet), but why?

Why? I'm not sure I understand the question.

Aaaah...I've just worked it out. The answer to "Wall is one" is ST, which I took to mean Saint, but I'm assuming now it means Street, as in Wall Street. Unless I'm still lost?

Nope, you got it. You, of all people, should appreciate the play on words.

Heh, I did like the clues, this was a lot easier than last week. And Kylie gets a mention.

(To my shame, 1 across had me stumped as well...)

Hey no message popped up for me.

The message apparently doesn't pop up if you peeked at the clues to solve the puzzle.
