Hint on 38

still can't decipher what to do with the synonyms. i don't even know if i have the right words. i just can't form the right word for this. help me please...:eek:
 
  • #1,033
Hi Speedy

< Notice every word has a colored in letter that matches the colors below.

That's the order you'll go by.

So to make it easier on you, write the words down in the same order and underline each colored letter.

Now, think of the synonyms.

Use google or dictionary.com if you need help thinking up some.

Count what number the colored letter is for the first word.

Count the same number of letters on the synonym you come up with.

Hope that helps. [/color] >

Michael, you've got three letters right, one letter is missing 'a leg', and you're missing the first letter of the word.
