It was harder than I thought it would be. I was afraid someone might finish it within 5-10 minutes. I tried to keep from having any of the clues use any advanced features though.
Sorry to hear you had a difficult time, but I appreciate you give it a shot!
Even memers who've used the site for a long time had some trouble. I can certainly understand how a newer user would have a hard time. Stick around, keep using the site and by mid-December I'll bet you can finish the next one.
