I'd like to encourage you again to look at THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL 3: THE ESCALUS MANIFOLD, by Hans Christian Andersen https://rcveeder.net/littlematchgirl/f inland/ because it is very good. You will like it if you like one or more of:

- EarthBound
- Paradise Lost
- "The Snow Queen," by Hans Christian Andersen
- Anglo-Saxon England
- Deimos, the smaller and outermost of the two moons of Mars
- Bug Fables

but you will also like it even if you don't like any of those things.

Day 8 of #EnigMarch is “Curse,” which I think is a bit irresponsible of the organizers, because a curse has befallen all my puzzles from days 1-7! All my very clever, mostly thematic answers have been transmogrified! Does anything remain of their former selves? I'd like to find out soon, because I'm afraid I might be turning into something too...

A cozy feeling turned into some Andean pack animals.
A laid-back tempo turned into a surly mammal with a big horn.
A cloud of plant matter turned into a firebreathing lizard.
A bunch of numbers turned into a devout insect.
A short branch turned into a bloodsucking arachnid.
An enchanting, graceful female sea creature turned into a loud, garish male bird.
A glittering stone turned into a long-lived, loquacious bird.

Day 7 of #EnigMarch is "Arrow," and I'm of the opinion that puzzles are more fun when you leave out the directions. For example:

Q. What are 1951 and 2017?

A. Warrior, sparrow, earworm

Day 6 of #EnigMarch is "Mythical." Yesterday, I had this idea that every sixth day, I could write a metapuzzle for the previous five answers. Then, on the 31st, I could write a metameta for the six metas.

Today I dismissed that idea as unrealistic. fantastical. CHIMERICAL

@CarlMuckenhoupt @puzzletrailpaul I would have liked more of them to work on spelling, but it was hard enough coming up with six different transformations!

For a while the whole thing felt like it was too dumb to work. Then when I came up with 'SUNDRY' I decided it was exactly dumb enough.

Day 5 of #EnigMarch is "Gem," and I am Culex, Dark Knight of Vanda. From Super Mario RPG. Remember?

Never mind. Six brave warriors are facing me in battle. I could defeat them myself, but I'd prefer to let my elemental crystals do most of the work. I can direct each crystal to attack one enemy. If all six enemies are transformed effectively, the battle is as good as over. And if you figure out my strategy for me, I'll give you a cool reward!

Day 4 of #EnigMarch is "light." And speaking of light, one of these coins is lighter than the others! So we brought them in for questioning! They're not being very cooperative, but maybe you can read some sign of their guilt:

The won says, "So what if one coin is lighter? Who cares how much a coin weighs?"

The austral says, "We're all different currencies, so I really don't see why we should be the same weight in the first place."

The Reichsmark says, "And have you noticed that we don't even have denominations?"

The tögrög says, "Is that why they're interrogating us instead of just weighing us?"

The dupondius says, "This whole thing is stupid. Let's get out of here, guys."

I have a new text adventure, "The Little Match Girl 3: The Escalus Manifold." It's a pretty ambitious undertaking with a custom combat system (and some music) (and some other stuff). Check it on out: https://rcveeder.net/littlematchgirl/f inland/

Day 3 of #EnigMarch is "wind." So let me tell you about my day:

First I flew due west, to an island where I delivered two letters to the guy who runs the barrel-shooting minigame. Then I flew southeast, to a mostly-circular island where I delivered two more letters. I flew west again, all the way to the edge of the navigable ocean, to an island where I delivered five letters. Then I flew northeast, to an island where some guys in jumpsuits were turning a big wooden wheel. I had five letters for them. I flew further northeast to an island shaped like a delicious pastry, where I delivered three letters. Then I flew southeast, back to the office, where there were six letters waiting for me. Then I realized there was something else the wind had been carrying all day long...

@puzzletrailpaul Yeah if the game ended then you must have found the answer! (Unlike this one I wrote a while back https://puzzles.mit.edu/2018/full/puzz le/the_lurking_horror_ii_the_lurkening.html where even if you win the game you don't necessarily know what the answer is o_o)
