Submitted so here are spoilered thoughts who didn't do it yet: I like the idea of this challenge, and maybe it was just me, but that word search was twice as long as it needed to be. Like I'm bad at both anagrams and cryptograms and yet both of those took very little time compared to the word search, which really makes the challenge feel like "do word search fast" being the only determining factor. Like with that many words and that large a field I easily see there being a huge discrepancy in times which means all the other differences in times just...don't matter nearly as much. Not to mention the word search trivialized the word scramble and cryptogram since a good amount of the words just overlapped which I think was intention, but just furthered how important it was. If either the list was made shorter or maybe the area smaller I feel this challenge would have been great. However, still very interested in the twist and really what the challenge was isn't important for this round, but rather what the results make the players do.
Oh also took me about 21 minutes.
Edit: added some more comments

We were kind of viewing this as a "basic training" course, get all of the cliches out on the table right away. With Flash losing support, we decided to be creative and searched far and wide for good challenges from old games as well as inventing a few of our own.
Everyone's got weaknesses and strengths when it comes to these basic skills. I'm pretty fast at word searches, but the cryptogram is where I get tripped up. When Know Your Enemy did a similar shotgun approach to one of their challenges, that's where I stalled out.

I am very excited for Challenge 11, personally.

Submitted. Wasn't paying attention to the clock, and not sure if the formatting was OK, but I'm spectating, so if it's wrong, best time to learn the lesson. Oh, plus started twice because I left the screen with the links to the puzzles and couldn't figure out how to get back there.

I'll be attempting soon. I can only assume I'll be failing on the jigsaw, as I've never seen someone complete a jigsaw using a pen.

It took me about 40 minutes. Good thing I'm a spectator. And I agree with Rock.

Apparently, filling out puzzles with a pen works better than firing green shells at them!

Specs, get to work! The same rules for the main challenge apply to you, except that if the final survivors would be eliminated together we simply skip that banker and move on. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves your (alleged) strategies. PM me here or DM me on Discord to submit your final lists.
Good luck! A different (better) prize awaits whoever lasts longest!
