It's the obvious one, but I doubt they will deduce it from t5.

I think m6 a6 is practically a 100% combo

So if t7 fails we get it in 3 every time

However, if there is a lock 2-combo then I’m ok with that since t7 depends on them knowing it

Ooh

There is a T6+m6 (different from the other 2 m6 i mentioned) if they know it; which is reasonable but maybe not

Man most good options require them to know something semi-esoteric

T5 + a6 is basically a lock imo and it doesn't require any esoteric knowledge.

Ok then after Ervin chimes in, if he doesn’t have anything else, go for t5

Worst case if they don’t get it from t5 a6 then we can add in m6 which never misses

Maybe even do m6 second if they may be deducing a6

Yea I don't have anything useful to add, not sure what any of those are but I all I can think of is some ts that won't get it on their own

Ok then d1 can go t5; I have m6 lined up if doesn’t work or if we need to go a6 first to get domain then m6 as backup that’s fine

We’ll play it by ear

thief

Any idea IBD? I've only had a quick think before I head out got no clue atm

Yeah, this one will be tough and they’ve all pretty much agreed that we won’t get it just from this clue.

Unless we have some revelation in the next few hours, we should probably just bold a word or two and let them feed us a6.

I can think of an a6 for sneak (attack) so try that?

T6 shadowfax (i.e., esoteric)
A6 confirmer for domain, more deducible than t5 (thief), t5+a6 = virtual lock
M6 similar
F3 decent maybe
T7 well known version of t6
M4 not bad

I might’ve missed a couple, but this seems like a decent starting point.

I'm definitely not going to get a lightbulb moment in the next couple hours so you can go ahead and bold something to get A6

I’m gonna a chew on it for a little bit, we’re in no rush

No idea, time to move it along.

sneak

Someone want to go a6? It’s needed before m6 so I’ll save that for backup

Pretty sure thief a6 gets them there tho so a6 will go to the right of thief

I'm pretty sure this is the only a6 that makes sense.

animal

Aww ****, is this raccoon? It popped into my head with the thief clue for some reason, but then I quickly ignored it.

I can’t think of a shadowfax t6/7 at the moment that fits raccoon, and haven’t looked at any other letter for a confirmer, but that’s where I’m starting

F3 fur?
M4 mask?

I don't know much about raccoons as they aren't native to UK but yeah makes sense they are animals with faces that looks like a thief lol

No idea what T6/T7 could be

M6 could be mammal (similar to A6)

I’m good if you are
