This kind of bruteforce is a bit disappointing though, since the words are supposed to be existing ones... shoul be a game of wits IMHO (of course you set the rules in the first place )

Yeah, I guess so too.
Now someone gotta bring him back, so that he could confirm that none of our guesses is right

Ambeers??
Don't know where I'm going, as the clue takes me nowhere.

Brittle, may be?
How about giving a try to my own name?
It does fulfill the conditions, I hope.

Half(ish) of BRITtle is a BRIT, the use for the cypher was because I could not find suitable symbols to draw a crack, a fenditure.

So instead of some kind of representation of the answer you elected for something totally unrelated to it in any way? You're not by any means the first to do it so I'm not singling you out. It's just that I have to wonder, also not for the first time, what the value of this daily puzzle is if all the potential solver has available is a wild stab in the dark based purely on the position of a repeated letter. Somehow I can't imagine even Sherlock Holmes deducing that you're using a ROT -1 cypher on the Greek alphabet for no other reason than that you can.
It seems a long time between occasions on which the answer and the 'question' are remotely 'synonymous'! This bothers me. Others it may not.

Well FOSW rely heavily on obfuscation, basically the first way to solve it is to look for the words with that number of characters and search for a pattern - dooubles, repeating substrings and so on, then giving it a shot.
If it is feasible then one can make an ASCII representation of the word in order to give a clue, especially if there are no patterns. Graphically rendering the letters, as could be 8\1^^|# for Brittle, may oversimplify things.
The idea in my case was that I was consistently using a single alphabet - so they probably were representations of the single characters. Looking at the Character Map (or the common greek knowledge built up in any decent human/math/physics high school course) one could find all the greek characters and looking at right the next one or the previous one wopuld be a common first try. At least, it it what I would do in such a case.
Also, hints are pretty important - as you saw it didn't take very long for the puzzle to be solved, all of my FOSW has been solved in less than 3 hours and with 2 hints maximum, which with all the time zones complications is indeed a short time. I don't think I made a poor job - in this case though I couldn't do better since the word was hardly describable in a 7 characters ASCII art.

Sorry to see that you have to explain yourself so detailed on such an easy game. But my 5 for that explanation and you did a good job on that one, i liked it!
BTW, you could just have send him to read to rules to get a "better" idea of it, therefore take another virtual +5 and a Medal of Honor for this explanation
