Hello, John!

Way back in 2014, when I first joined YWS, I remember posting a couple riddle poems. I encouraged readers to solve them, and so I received several comments on the works with different guesses. Meanwhile, those who tried to leave reviews struggled to come up with any substantial critiques. Someone suggested that in the future I post these poems on my wall or the forums instead, and so I'm passing on this same advice to you!

It's a little difficult to critique what is essentially a page from a phonebook! Works like this that are more like a game or puzzle and require audience participation probably belong outside of the publishing center - this might even fit well in the Classified or Unclassified clubs!

Anyway, I applaud you for putting this together and for coming up with all these unique names. Must've taken a while! Is there a reason why the first "E" and "K" in the title are capitalized? I'm not sure how they would fit into the solution of the puzzle.

Keep writing!
Wolfi

Okay
You say this is a puzzle
How long would you guess it would take to solve
And what do I get
if I solve it

If you solve the Puzzle you get to pat yourself on the back and feel superior to other individual.

Hi JohnKlue!

My name is Elinor, and I thought I would drop by to give you a comment. I'm a little bit confused by this. I know I've commented on one a glossary for one of your stories before, and I was curious as to whether or not it was attached to that? Unfortunately, there's not much I can really discern from a list of phone numbers. That being said I think you have an interesting concept here and it's exciting to see the amount of work that you're putting into your world building. Passion will get you far and I'm excited to see where you take it.

Happy Monday, and keep writing!

Elinor
