This might be my favorite of the series so far! Of course, I haven't started on #6 yet...
#5: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 30, 2009
Thanks, Sallie.

A good challenge, but I have to nitpick the text of your answer. "Capital" means uppercase letter, but it also means the city where a state's government is located. "Capitol" refers to the building that houses the government, which works for the picture but not for the description. You could replace it with "The capitol of my state is located in Phoenix," which would be correct.

By golly, you are right. And you are Wright. Hmmmmm. :-)

You could have done a homonymophone or a homophoneonym (or something along those lines) involving 3 different words for this puzzle. Two of the three words are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings [CAPITAL (upper case letter) and CAPITAL (factors of production used to create goods or services)] yet another 2 of the 3 are spelled differently and have different meanings but are pronounced the same [CAPITAL (either of the above meanings) and CAPITOL (the government building)].

Just an interesting thought. :-)

Great job, by the way.

A homonymophone or a homophoneonym? :-D

the answer to #9 is = yes. lol
so fun. great capitol building...especially for the small size.

I just made up silly words to describe a 3-word possibility. I don't know which would be more correct; maybe it would depend on which way the words were combined. Anyway, yeah.

Nice. I liked the contrasting use of negative space.

clever and a joy to solve. the way you designed the flag along the grid makes it appear to be waving!
