Nice image, but I'm not convinced that this is solvable without guessing.#2: Mark Conger (aruba) on Sep 9, 2004
I think this one must contain some ambiguity - I found a solution that satisfies all the conditions, but it isn't the right one.#3: Rea Aksglæde Karlsen (Rea) on Jun 9, 2008 [SPOILER]
first i thought this was a supmarine then a tank and its a sandwith.... why hero?#4: Arduinna (arduinna) on Jun 9, 2008 [SPOILER]
Sometimes we call them hero sandwiches. I don't know why, but I'll bet someone here does!#5: m2 (mercymercy) on Jun 10, 2008 [SPOILER]
It comes from the Greek sandwiches called giro but Americans pronounce it hero.#6: Arduinna (arduinna) on Jun 10, 2008 [SPOILER]
Unless you're from Oklahoma,in which case you usually hear it with a soft g like in germ! I think I did know that, M2! thanks!#7: Rea Aksglæde Karlsen (Rea) on Jun 12, 2008
thank you both. I guess its god to know :o)#8: Arduinna (arduinna) on Jun 12, 2008
Webpbn, your #1 source for useless trivia! ;)#9: Rea Aksglæde Karlsen (Rea) on Jun 12, 2008
definately lol#10: Miranda Loeber (lucentvictrola) on Apr 8, 2009 [SPOILER]
I've always heard it said 'yiro' here in Arizona. Also, I got an accidental solution, having trouble figuring out what it should be...#11: Byrdie (byrdie) on Sep 21, 2009 [SPOILER]
I thought it was a cruise ship with rows of port holes along the top and bunting along the side. Didn't fit with the title but that's what it looked like.#12: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 20, 2012 [SPOILER]
I prefer yiro, but I've also heard gyro (pronounced like gyroscope)#13: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jul 4, 2013 [SPOILER]
I didn't know that was the origin of hero sandwiches, but it makes complete sense.
In Louisiana, unless you're at Subway or Quiznos or another chain, they're called Po-boys.
Also known as a hoagie around Philly. This seems to come from a type of hero that workers brought to the shipyards on Hog Island. (The workers were called Hoggies - or Hoagies with an italian accent.)#14: Bryan (Cyclone) on Nov 28, 2013 [HINT]
Shifting through my disused vocabulary bins, I also remember them being called grinders. Growing up, we ate subs.

As part of my look through WebPBN history, I've resubmitted this puzzle (see #23263) to make it logically solvable without guessing. All copyright for the changed puzzle remains with the original puzzlesmith (Megan).
