Puzzlehunt

I participated in PuzzleHunt again this past weekend.  We ranked a 14th among 100 teams...Respectable, but nowhere close to actually finishing the hunt.  I think the balance was a bit skewed towards 'too long' this year.

I've posted a few puzzles for the curious.

Easiest: PigPen
Funnest: Googolplex
Longest: TripleSec

Hints #1
PigPen: Talking to yourself is helpful.

Googolplex: One letter can make a big difference.

TripleSec: Bold Begins.

Lol, I'm working on PigPen right now.
Only 6 matches so far, one of them uses three squares...
Does Gorean (Gore-yen) count? ;-P

Okay, 8 matches and 2 are triples.
I think it might help if I knew who the singer was, and what that bottle of ... cough syrup(?) was...

Sorry so many posts...
Can you change direction mid-word on a triple-squared one?

Singer: I don't remember, I'll have to look tomorrow when I can see the answers again :)

Change direction:90 degrees, yes. 180 degrees (doubling back), no.

Oh my. This already sounds way to complicated. I am not very fond of puzzles, so I will just wait until the answers are posted. I know, I know, I am a cheater, and I don't care.
