Thread: "X" Puzzles

  1. #1

    Default "X" Puzzles

    Solve a name, post it, then make up your own.

    Decipher the following org names if you can:

    Celfurix (sell fear ricks)
    Stulx (stalks)
    Festurix (fester ricks)
    Deprix (dep pricks)
    Xeidtlous (sight less)
    Xyven (tsi ven)
    Xeath (seth)
    Xedger (zed gear)

    'X' removed:

    Tamir (tam ear)
    Oriczee
    Mae
    Mitrino (mit tree no)
    Deetr
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    You're missing Sloth, Wrath, and Gluttony... Or you used a synonym.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Xeidtlous is a detachment.

    Celfurix is a related term.

    The words without Xs are commonplace.

    Try these four as well:

    Rawx
    Frextis
    Manifex
    Dhexat

    Then name the group.

    War
    Famine
    Death

    It's the name of the four riders, courtesy of Revelations, although only Death is given in the Bible.
    Can't figure out the middle one, though, not yet.

    The only translation for the second I can find is Conqueror and Pestilence.

    Festurix -- Surfeit, means greedy or in excess of, but I've never heard of this word before today
    Xeidtlous -- Solitude
    Celfurix -- Lucifer

    Awesome!

    Well, that's it then. I don't know how much longer you'd like me drag this on. As I posted at the start, all who guessed correctly were allowed to post their own.

    You guys have been wonderful, thank you for playing. Just ask if you want more.

    EDIT - Oh yeah, the non-Xs . . . but those are even easier than the others.

    Ah heck, just one more: Sondimux (zone "d" mucks)

    Those were supposed to be solved?

    Naturally.

    Aside from the "X" Puzzles and Non-Xs, I was gonna make some Z-nagrams where I scramble words and replace C S and X with Zs. It wouldn't apply to words that already had Zs in them, just like the other puzzles.

    It'll be easier for me to think up some more after I see what you can come up with.
