Sorry I meant wax only and hair only. And therefore this clue must bridge two of the three.

22

I agree with everything that has been said so far: I think it touches wax and one of the other two. Wax + hair I can think of other more obvious clues for, but perhaps Roger wants to use hair + bikini or wax + bikini next?

I donā€™t really associate the words bikini and obstacle, but Iā€™m not sure what word I would use for wax + obstacle.

23

ā€¦ or both the tiles adjacent to wax are safe, so it doesnā€™t matter which one we pick and bikini is only associated with wax. This game is already hard.

24

A side note: one of the cluegiverā€™s problems here is that a clue D that goes perfectly with A and B may get some progress, but then later you may need to clue A and D but not B, aid if it was too good a match for A+B that may be quite hard.

25

My gut feeling is 2-2, wax and hair. Bikinis are no obstacle in life.

26

Yeah Iā€™m leaning away from Obstacle because I think there are also much better words for Wax+Obstacle. Maybe we should go Wax+Hair because a bikini wax is specifically a hair-focused wax (as opposed to candle wax, beeswax, etc.)

27

See I think it is wax and obstacle (I.e. it covers up something/s).

I will not be psychoanalysed on this.

So 4-4

Setting up a quick poll since it sounds like thereā€™s a split in the party.

Where should Bikini go?

  • 2-2
  • 4-4
  • Wax-only option

Iā€™m honestly torn between 2-2 and wax only, Iā€™d happily back either, but if it was only me I think Iā€™d go wax only so thatā€™s what Iā€™ve voted for.

30

I think itā€™s 2-3 (wax only) as I think there are better ways to get to the other spots and I canā€™t see how bikini would pair with the other words.

31

I think if weā€™ve voted we might as well go with the winner?

2-2 it is.

That space is empty.

(I think Iā€™m not really meant to say whether or not that space was my intention.)

So, do we fancy 1-1 or 1-2?

Either that or Iā€™ve just exposed my ignorance in matters concerning hair or wax.

I agree, could be either of them.

35

Iā€™d say 1-1 just from a geographical standpoint. It would make it easier for clues that then point us out the northeast.

You arenā€™t!

All you can say is what is there.

I can live with 1-1

Did we hit anything?

Crossroads feels obstacle adjacent to me. So 5-3 or 5-2
