Lingo has OFFICIALLY Melted My Brain

[@cleveretortnotfound7869]

BTW Olexa. In the menu [settings] you can select which level to start on manually. Useful for starting at level 2 and skipping the loading to level 1. (Also this lets you access custom maps once you load them)

[@TheFunfighter]

I assume the difference between a checkered block and a half-and-half block is, that the former applies two concepts to the whole word, while the latter applies one change to the first part and the other change to the last part. Sunrise Star (×pink=?) + fall (×black=opposite) = Sun+rise So Star×(pink)=Sun

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

Just a small detail - pink is actually called magenta in the game.

[@TheFunfighter]

​@@JustAnotherCommenterYeah, but I ain't typing that multiple times.

[@bekfaststealer2660]

I think the checker blocka are either applying the rules to each other, or mixing the rules together, to make a new rule.

[@bogobogobogo542]

@@bekfaststealer2660This. well shown in the time puzzles, where brown is time advancing, and black checkers, is time regressing, mixing the rules

[@PlaneShaper2]

Yay, you found the cryptography rooms! "I don't know how I was supposed to get that without brute forcing some stuff" -- hey, brute force can be a valid cryptological exercise for determining a cipher. You might even need it again. And now you know that orange blocks don't always have to be the "wanderlust" cipher :)

[@TheAstyanii]

Assuming it's themed with the other words, I suspect profraction would be contraction, and its opposite would be expansion. Assuming "clouds" is actually the verb meaning "to obscure," one possible answer would be "shows." Pink looks like it's a specific part of a word. Star -> Sun is technically not the opposite since the sun is a star. The quartz puzzles are probably specific types of quartz.

[@codesymphony]

ya definitely a helpful rule of thumb is that the word generally keeps the same shape. so a plural of something would still also end as a plural. description still stays a description, an object still stays an object etc

[@istariknight1]

I'm thinking clouds might be analogous to stars since it's night sky themed

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

Magenta means the answer is a type of the prompt. You'll find that it has an opposite-themed color later on too.

[@Contreth1313]

The music for this is so great it gets stuck in your head super easily. Enough variety and good enough toons to not get repetative and annoying

[@demuscotecomay]

It blew my mind how fast you identified the rules for the checker blocks, same for the light green. You rock! I had no clue about THE WORD either but you came up with The Devious and it was perfect. It must have felt great, I'm sure. Congrats!

[@RoderickEtheria]

The Profraction box has two colors. Part of it is opposite by being bottom black; the other part is bottom purple.

[@MurderWho]

I thought it was mid purple?

[@Contreth1313]

It pained me watching him do the red and orange blocks before the black and orange blocks. Its order of operations.

[@linforcer]

How is sun "kind of the inverse of a star" the sun is a star.

[@SorwestChannel]

Olexa didn't think sun is opposite to star, but rather sunrise was the opposite somehow to starfall, which... uh... is Olexa being Olexa 😅 He still hasn't figured out what split colors mean, but there'll be other places he can learn them anyway so it's fiiiiineeeee.... hopefully 🤣

[@freezypuffs1167]

Think of the blocks being split in half as two different sets of rules for the two words, for example, the black side correlates to the word PRO and the purple side correlates to the word FRACTION, once you have both words put them together and you have the new word

[@brendandangelo715]

The Devious area is certainly hard to think about, plus you got through a bunch of the sun/moon stuff. Congrats!

[@Bahzur]

Btw in the options you can choose which level is loaded first so you dont have to load into Level 1 first.

[@PipsQueen]

Oh man this is doing numbers! Most of the episode is doing numbers, at least, of some kind. Each episode I am more certain that I will *not* play this game anytime soon (because, duh, I'm watching it, I know the puzzles), but my father-in-law is a puzzle head and a language nerd so I will ABSOLUTELY recommend this to him.

[@DonYagamoth]

My favorite so far is, that Olexas first thought for the opposite of "cool" was "lame"

[@helioke]

Gotta say, this has to be one of the most brilliant puzzle games I have seen yet. Thanks for bringing this one to us!

[@jackeea_]

Desk pics when? 👉👈

[@NoxComet]

I love watching you figure out how the colors work ❤ I recommend putting the letters in excel in one column in normal order and next to it reverse them to make black/orange easier.

[@pointlessviewer]

Updating my notes as I go along: Top - Phonetic Middle - Graphemic Bottom - Semantic White - Equal Black - Opposite Red - Partial Blue - External Purple - Similar Yellow - Mix Green - Contextual Orange - Numerical / (?)Cipher Gray - Literal / Representative (?) Brown - Time Progression Brown Checkered - Time Regression Lilac - Cotained (?) Lime - ??? Magenta - ??? Teal - ???

[@Spikeba11]

I think the non brute force method for the checkered orange/blue and orange/red is figuring out the sides with one in the corner have their words going into each other.

[@BryanLu0]

You should clean up your rules and write them all down.

[@codesymphony]

yes.

[@codesymphony]

please no more "HOMOPHONE OF A WORD ADD LETTERS" :(

[@freezypuffs1167]

YES this is a brilliant idea

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

I hope he removes "WORD IN WORD" 'cuz that is NOT how red middle works. It's REMOVE LETTER/S.

[@suvannath1631]

I think since each side of the word is a different colour each colour applies to the word in it so magenta could mean a type of the word or to specify

[@huntermiddleton4387]

Orange-Blue being "encrypt" by "adding" is really cool. maybe worth updating the spreadsheet with "action vs subject" pundit squares.

[@StrwbryWhtChcltWhtStrwbryChclt]

Most of your level 1 definitions would be better if you replaced "homophone" with "sound"

[@codesymphony]

good advice

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

Well it certainly doesn't apply only for level 1... it applies universally to other levels and custom maps

[@minamagdy4126]

He's using "homophone" as a reminder that the parts he should play with should carry the same sounds but not necessarily the same letters. The problem with this is that it significantly limits his understanding of how to do harder clues, and especially where multiple things are going on. That's not to say that he still hasn't fully let go of the spelling while thinking about these clues, prefering to play with letters over phonemes. That is the truly limiting part of his thinking about top clues.

[@nyanSynxPHOENIX]

Level 2 uses themes and environments a lot more, so you can luckily get clues from surroundings more, such as the cloud clue.

[@misha279_UA]

1 - block with question, 2 - block behind!!!

[@r.l.r.7550]

I think with the big ones it's half and half.

[@Pigar1]

Please continue this game I love your content so much ❤❤❤

[@Pride_il_superbo]

For what I understood: blocks down are connected to the object the word refers to Blocks in the middle refers to the written word Blocks in the top refers to the sound of the word While color are: White = the same as the (object, word, sound) Blue= the (object, word, sound) is a part of Red= is part of the (object, word, sound) Purple = is like/similiar to the (object, word, sound) Black = is the opposite (object, word, sound) Green = is hidden in the (object, word, sound) For brown is something connected to what makes what/ getting older For Cyan it seems to be the opposite of the answer of another block For magenta it seems to be connected to general/specific (the sun is a star, but was with black in that instance) For Orange is connected with conversion between numbers and letters Double colored blocks have an effect based on both color combined, while big block seems to be half per color (based on starfall/sunrise purple-black, as the sun is a type of star (purple) and the opposite of fall is rise, but I’m still not sure). Based on this last comment protraction should be condivision, as the opposite of pro- in con- and fraction are division

[@nuggetoftruth865]

Profraction wouldn’t be condivision under your rules, that would be applying black to both sides. While pro is black and would become con, fraction is purple and therefore would be replacement. A good fit for this is fraction -> traction, so the full word would be contraction. This also allows the light green/teal clue in the daytime room to be “expansion”, which is the opposite.

[@Pride_il_superbo]

@@nuggetoftruth865 it's also possible, but I was thinking about purple bottom: the best example I have is fork-spoon, so I think it's something like similar object / object that share a characteristic. Fraction-traction would work if that was purple top (obviously then there would be a problem with pro)

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

@@Pride_il_superbo The big panel is black middle + purple middle. There's no problem with the "pro" part, as it is separate from the "fraction" part. It would help if there were glass indicators at the back of big panels to indicate which particular height rule is applied to every color rule, but that will appear later on.

Sun isn't opposite to star; it's an example of a specific star.

Teal/mint is memory based

[@butternerd-sz1nw]

mid teal amputate -> agate hope this helps i steal

[@xKymerahx]

For Profraction purple is a rhyming word black is opposite, so pro = con, and fraction rhymes with traction maybe?

[@SorwestChannel]

My favorite ending was the numerical alphabet ending.

[@NamsaRay]

Guys I am confused Has Olexa even cracked the meaning of Top Middle Bottom Or is Olexa still oblivious to the truth of height?

[@OlexaYT]

I’m well aware of what top middle and bottom, everybody slams it in every comment section of every video as if I don’t understand it. Not every color follows that exact pattern. Level 2 is hard, it’s meant to be hard.

[@iAmGGlitch]

ive realized the problem with how olexa views positions. he treats white as a base that other colors add onto by default. i hope he learns that while white is the vanilla, that is its own flavor of block and not the foundation.

I don’t really view it like that at all. White just has its own rules like everything else lol
