Right...

jeez... 3hrs in and at least 5 different solutions, and i still havent gotten the right one. So frustrating!

This has many solutions and it's hard to guess the right one. I'm going to unpublish this. I kind of like the idea of doing a text puzzle in ancient Greek, but this needs more work before it is an enjoyable puzzle for anyone.

There is a page of advice on creating solvable puzzles that is linked to from the FAQ page and the "Create Puzzles" page that might give some ideas on fixing this.

Now fully solvable!

It's all Greek to me.

When I print this puzzle, the PDF file gets a different puzzle than the one which is displayed for both, solving and the peek solution.

They are similar, but the displayed one is a 3 colors puzzle, while the PDF one uses 5 colors and I think it has many solutions. I suppose the PDF one is an older version (which doesn't appear in the peek).

I wrote this same comment in Bugs (Topic #5), but I haven't get any answer there.

Well, solving it nearly 10 years after Martha...
I'd make only one change: Find the "e" in the top row. The column immediately to the left is currently 17-3-2. I'd change it to 7-7-3-2 to give the "e" a fuller left side.

Not a complaint, at all! I liked solving this one!

This was a very tough puzzle for me with a very rewarding solve.
