The Lost Challenges discussion

will you accept "white linen shirt" for linen or "eggshell blue" for eggshell (even though it falls under white?)

Celia wrote: "will you accept "white linen shirt" for linen or "eggshell blue" for eggshell (even though it falls under white?)"

No, because the linen is the fabric.

I guess eggshell is good.

will you accept, "the only splash of cover is her red lipstick"?

Celia wrote: "will you accept, "the only splash of cover is her red lipstick"?"

no

would you take "jammy berries" for jam?

Celia wrote: "would you take "jammy berries" for jam?"

ok

Is this a color?

"The dark, heather-clad moorland..."

Celia wrote: "Is this a color?

"The dark, heather-clad moorland...""

No, it's saying there is heather planted there.

JoAnne wrote: "Celia wrote: "Is this a color?

No, it's saying there is heather planted there."

Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks.

I found Maya gold.... would that count or do I need to find 'Maya blue' ?

Kendra wrote: "I found Maya gold.... would that count or do I need to find 'Maya blue' ?"

The challenge was written that you find the words in the grids. So yes, you would need to find Maya blue.

Would you count "pebbled sand?" for pebble gray?

Celia wrote: "Would you count "pebbled sand?" for pebble gray?"

No

would you accept "black cloaks fluttering like crow wings" for crow?

I'm still working away at this one, but I could submit for a lower level if this is going away.

It's not going away we are going to revamp because the ex-mod who posted this deleted her account and messed everything up. No one else will be able to play because all the challenge information is gone.

I might come back after the revamp but this is kinda good timing because I'm ready to say I'm done with this one for a while since I'm just not enjoying it the way I was. If I decide to play again I'll completely restart so I can get the new badges but here's my completion post for now.
