last one. sad it's over. This was great fun. Thank you, oatmeal!

@trinsec @oatmeal maybe but I can't figure it out even post factum. I tried breaking the answer into words and looking for something that would make sense (oatmeal likes such tricks bases on previous puzzles) but drawing a blank so far.

@herid @oatmeal Huh, actually, upon rechecking the answer's image, yeah ok, the similarity was pretty obvious. But you had to know that to begin with, lol.

@trinsec @oatmeal I still don't see it. is it supposed to be its mouth?

@herid @oatmeal Yes, pretty much. Its face.

@trinsec @oatmeal hmm, ok.

@herid @oatmeal
I think this is pretty much the origin. Just that the round thingy could've been better detailed like this, heh. Although I still wouldn't have guessed outright without the rest of it.

@herid
Huh, yeah. Afterwards I think it's some sort of sounding like " 's ok " ... the rest is just a red herring. As a deafy having a 'sounds like' puzzle is tricky as this isn't my native language either heh.

Mm, I've seen funnier heh. ;)

@trinsec @oatmeal sure but it was still pretty god.

@herid
It's not terribly uncommon. It's gained a bit more popularity lately in 'edgy conversations' in my experience.

@oatmeal

@trinsec @oatmeal I don't think I've ever heard it used. Perhaps the use is regional?

@herid
I saw it mostly used in meme-like convos of some sort online.

@oatmeal

@herid
Igh, lol.

@oatmeal

@trinsec @oatmeal I find "eliminate all useless letters" to be one of the most useful clues. more useful and cheaper than revealing the first letter.

@herid Yeah, I usually do that too. But I thought I was pretty close anyway. Well, I wasn't, but with the revealed letter I did get close lol.

@oatmeal

@herid @oatmeal The visual clue was outright useless and OF COURSE the obvious (but wrong) answer was also able to be spelled out. 😂

@herid @oatmeal Well, that one was easy, heh.

@herid @oatmeal The visual clue was nice. It was hard to miss. Or easy, actually. 😋

@trinsec @oatmeal I am really bummed this is over. I wonder if he'd consider making a paid game out of these with monthly puzzles. But I suspect this is not feasible.
