What does each letter of APHID stand for?

OMFG.

Taiya might be onto something.

That obvious "I can't believe I missed it" feeling is starting to sink in.

Right on, that's way better than my suggestion.

It just suddenly hit me that it was saying "The first step of any solution".

Okay, but then where does analysis fit in other than just analysing our problem?

Analysis....I think I even used the word in a few posts, and it didn't even dawn on me. Nice work Taiya. I think it's the best lead so far.

Thank you! I'm just not sure where to go with it now.

Analysis seems a little to vague to me... but it may well be right.

Well, aren't these puzzles about analysis? Isn't that what we've been doing so far?

I guess it makes sense in that we are proving our worth in our ability to analyze what we are being shown and what we are hearing.

I wonder what the other functions of APHID are aside from Analysis.

A is neither Apophenia or analysis.

I sent a message to OpAphid, asking if it was Apophenia. I got 2 replies:

No. Too many letters, and many are wrong.

The A in APHID is the first step in a process or method toward finding a solution. We are challenging you to see how apt you are in that area.

What you suggested has three correct letters: a n e

I will leave it to you to figure out the rest.

And the second:

Also, you are on the right path with the idea. But think in more general terms of problem solving.

Analysis / Analyze?

I also just recieved a message from her. I asked if A was Anonymous.

My message also said:

"No.

Too many letters"

Only one way to find out. I already sent in a message.

Hmm, cool that's she's helping out. Now I'm just trying to brain storm A words.

analyze is right apparently!

I believe it is Analyze.

The A in Aphid is a 4 to 8 letter word, containing the letters 'A' 'N' and 'E'. It doesn't contain 'P' 'O' 'H' or 'I' .

Are you sure? How do you know this?
