so link for n-1

and horseshoe+bugle for horseback soldier

not sure on the other 2; i liked crown and circle best but they are already gone

all 4 should hit message as well; bugle sends a wakeup message to soldiers; horseshoe doesn't really hit message, but oh well

he chose to capitalize it, which I'm not sure why
he also chose Cavalry over mountie, which also gets horseshoe+bugle

Egypt could be a good Cavalry option

not sure how it fits message, though, but neither does horseshoe

Will think about this in a bit, but just end it now if any of these aren't ours.

Eh, Egypt seems good too.

Egypt

I was pretty sure I had to get this in two, so I threw a hail mary on message. Still, we got pretty close

I was going for Tie Fighter on the first clue, not sure if capitalizing would've made a difference there

Never considered tie fighter. We gave it a good shot.

GG all.

Could’ve gotten there last turn, but oh well. Still worked out fine. Nice clueing, xander. gg all

We still got there. Good guessing guys.

I was pleased with Halo because it's literally a circle of light. Just unfortunate that it goes on the head like a crown.

Other thing I considered was spot, but spotlight could easily be missed and a spot isn't necessarily a circle.

Ring briefly went through my head. You'd get circle for sure but I thought a ring light might be missed.

I probably would’ve been more vocal about light had the clue been ring. But rings are crowns are both jewelry, so we might’ve ended up in the same spot.

not seeing much else

for the iceberg, there is snowman (2-step connection at least) and spike (also 2-step at least) and spring (a leak)

maybe Queen is a good first backup

Hera - 3

I don’t really know anything about her beyond her being Zeus’s wife, so queen seems good. I guess ruler could work in that sense too.

I’m not seeing any super specific Greek connections, but olive works enough I think.

I think you know than me about her. Greek goddess is the limit of my knowledge.

Queen and then I'm guessing.

Olive is a good shout and then there's probably some famous fact about her being the queen of bugs or that time she went to the Himalayas.

We should probably just guess 2 and pass here because without the specific knowledge the 3rd word will be unguessable for us
