Helloooo all steemers!
We had a mighty good puzzle #12 with so many magnificent and original entries! Very high quality, thank you all for the work you put in! Some of the words were dazzling and some very funny!
After some deliberation, Senior Consulting Judge 
Hive account@perlanacarada and 
Hive account@leeuw determined that 
Hive account@sheskanto is WINNER! But not after a nail biting cliffhanger sort of tie that wasn't a tie: both had 8 words, Hive account@sheskanto was first but 
Hive account@teresah had a longest word. The jury panel decided, using the words of 
Hive account@parlanacarada, that
'the rule says, Winner: "first to comment with the most words in the string of letters". So Hive account@sheskanto commented at 10:34 a.m. yesterday, Hive account@teresah 18:01 p.m. of yesterday's day so the winner is Hive account@sheskanto and subchampion Hive account@teresah the tie would be given if they had commented at the same time.
Here are the results:
Hive account@sheskanto - winner: 5 STEEM in upvotes using smartsteem vote buying on Hive account@sheskanto's next posting
Hive account@teresah - runner-up: 2.5 STEEM (increased the prize due to the very high quality of entry)
Hive account@jennimorillo - 1 STEEM, most beautiful word: AMOR!
I decided to reward additional 1 STEEM to these exceptional entries:
Hive account@veruskaseijas - most orginal entry
Hive account@elider11 - long time number 1 (7 words!) then overtaken just before the very end!
Hive account@lovepreet2511 - great attitude
Hive account@alejo1996 - BIKINI 😲🤣🤣🤣
We thank Hive account@perlanacarada for co-judging the contest fairly and detailed with a 5 SBD jury service compensation.
Hive account@sheskanto, please kindly confirm your acceptance of Hive account@leeuw submitting your next posting on STEEMIT to smartsteem.com for a 5 STEEM purchase by Hive account@leeuw of votes on your next post's behalf. If you wish to decline then i will make a prize payout of 4 STEEM to your wallet. A 5 STEEM smartsteem vote purchase normally results in a automatic blockchain payout 7 days later of 2.5 STEEM + 2.5 SP (+ 10% or more profit). NOTE: in today's (!!!) HardFork 20, vote payout algorithm changes in ways that may or may not yet be fully optimized in smartsteem's vote buying algorithms, hence abberations may or may not happen as a result.
Thank you all very much, have a great week and see you next time!
