I have refreshed three times and they only half load. Can't do a thing with the thumbnails.

Very creative!
Small note: I read "or side" at the end of the clue, but it goes in the middle.

That was a nasty one to start, but once the aha hit, it was pretty (1,3,4,5 + 1,2,3,5,6 + ocean)

Fun one Sammy - nice aha moment.
I did get a little hung up by 5 & 6 running together and wanting the answer to 5 to be 8 letters long.

I had problems with ALL the puzzles loading tonight. But on this one I had to right click and hit "show picture" on the last half of the thumbnails and enlarged pics.
*sigh*

A neat idea, but the the clues are somewhat inconsistent. Contrast #1 and #7 for example.

Nice idea, but I wasn't a big fan. Very creative though, just a PITA!!!

I have them all filled in, and everything fits, but it won't take. Should 5 and 6 make a word, cuz mine doesn't.
NM, got it, had the last one wrong.
And with that, I finally hit 100K, woot!

Wow, quite a challenge. Hard to draw the line on those clues at first!

Wow! Funky.
What a creative idea, a little inconsistent, but fun.

Five hours late and still bonus points, tedious much. Not great on a lower end set up, but innovative.

Very clever and nice to see a new idea for these, but man that was tedious. Should have had fewer answers, leaving out a many that aren't required to solve the clues.

I liked it -- a little bit of work, but original and challenging.

[24] Amen.
EDIT: Wow, that just kinda rolled. I started with #11, and used that in some of the others. I still don't know where "#1 through #9" come from.

Tedious, but finally got answers to all. Unfortunately one of them must be wrong. Would anyone volunteer to check my answers?

Don't really get how the numbers make shapes, slightly confused. Salt anyone? Just a dash?

w00t! First under 100 I do believe. As a next day solver, getting extra points is a new experience.
Took a minute or two for the aha, but straightforward after that I thought. Nice and adventurous sammydb.

I joined this site several days ago and was stumped by this puzzle ever since. FINALLY had the "aha moment" today. Glad to put a "solved" on this one.
...my brain must be atrophied.
