Yay, so happy you've been enjoying our puzzles, Gelquie! =D Also major kudos for solving that sudoku, that was a pretty tough one! x'D (If you'd like to share the solution in a spoiler, maybe that would be helpful for any other puzzlers? I dunno, up to you.)

And gwah, cryptogram typos, my nemesis. xD Thanks for pointing it out!! Let's see...
Hmm, looking at our Google Doc file where we typed up our ToT stuff...that's super weird. The word is complete in the doc, but in the post-editor, it shows up as a box with "0003" inside, which is then erased on all the posts where we pasted this cryptogram onto the forum. @_@
...Proboards, what are you doing, especially with this one single line. Why do you hate the Chia Pets so. "Don't worry, the feeling is mutual!" "DOHOHOHOHOHOHO"

....Anyway, after finagling some more font size formatting, I think this is what that puzzle should say, and I'll edit my post above with this as well. (Will also turn off smilies, because when I viewed this on mobile, they Appeared. xD)

That's interesting how that happened! I'm guessing Google Docs has some sort of package that includes that character, but it's relatively uncommon on browsers or other doc files? Now I wonder what this character is. ...Though the word I guessed I think doesn't have a unique character to the rest of the cryptogram? I dunno. x'D
Anyway, proboooooards!
Anyway anyway, yay it's fixed!

Re: Sudoku - Yeah, sure I can! I actually had a feeling I might be asked for the solution, so I saved the result of that one. (The other ones already had solutions posted and this was casual for me anyway, so I didn't save the others. Plus the program I used for solving the word find bugged out at one point and thus kept erasing lines, so when I finally finished it was ugly. x'D )

("Why pink? It's not really your color?"
I wanted it to stand out from the default text while also not blending in with the background.

Gelquie Ah, no, sorry, I worded that badly--It was fine in the doc, but Proboards is where it converted "&#3" into this little thing (enlarged): I dunno what it thinks those symbols are supposed to translate into? Oh well. 'Tis fixed now! =D Thanks again for the heads up! ^^ If we ever do Chia Pets cryptograms again, maybe we should just post them using the Proboards code function? x'D

Woo, awesome pink sudoku!! \ o /
