Hi,
I'm new and I thought I would create a page to discuss the other puzzles sprinkled throughout the book. This is my first working on some of these puzzles. I figured that the more we learn about the way the different puzzles are solved, the more we can understand solving "The Forgotten Word" and of course Forrest's "Coded Words".
I'm posting the one's that I have solved with a basic explanation of how they were solved. Then at the end, I will post the puzzles I haven't solved and we can work through those as it happens.
