There's 5 choices I can think of for typewriter. Which 4 do you think is the best?

Novel - Novel can be written on a typerwiter.
Code - There's a feature called code typewriter effect.
Note - There are typerwriter note cards and typewriter paper notes.
Copper - Some types of typewriter's are called copper typewriter.
Theater - Play scripts for a theater can be written on a typewriter.

I agree with novel and note being my top picks. Space and and capital never occurred to me and these choices could also work for the clue.

Code typewriter effect doesn't seem to be common and it was a choice that came up in my head. Some typewriters are made out of copper and I thought that would have been one of the clue choices.

I'm fine with us submitting novel and note as our first guesses.

Adorable · Post Post #8883 (isolation #4) » Fri Sep 22, 2023 10:18 am

I'm good with that too.

There's 6 choices I can think of for truck.

Ice Cream - Ice cream food truck sells ice cream.
Horn - Doesn't trucks have horns too?
Drill - Some trucks have drills used to dig holes.
Plate - Trucks have license plates.
Snow - Some trucks are used to move snow.
Fence - There are fence trucks attached to a chain of fences which can be used for transporting different loads.

I forgot about seat belts and that could work. I know that seal is an animal and I looked it up to see if there's another word for it and that might be part of the clue. I don't see how copper and train relates to truck and it feels like the 5th choice would be one of the choices I listed.

My top picks would be horn, belt, plate and my second picks in any order would be drill, ice cream, snow, and seal.

Something about the truck clue doesn't feel right to me. Cars have horn, belts, license plates, and a seal can also be used for a car and if these were our choices for the clue, then why did lilith say truck and not car? It feels like there's something more to the clue which made me think one of drill, ice cream, or snow would be part of the choices.

Adorable · Post Post #8920 (isolation #7) » Sat Sep 30, 2023 6:03 am

I'm okay with us submitting horn, belt, and plate as our first guesses.

Adorable · Post Post #8924 (isolation #8) » Sun Oct 01, 2023 10:44 am

I'm okay with that.

Adorable · Post Post #8946 (isolation #9) » Thu Oct 05, 2023 4:48 am

Ice cream and drill are the first choices that come up from the top of my head and funnily they also fit the truck clue since these were my guesses for the last clue.

People put ice cream in their mouth and eat it and a mouth drill is used for dental work.

Adorable · Post Post #8949 (isolation #10) » Thu Oct 05, 2023 9:57 am

Ice Cream

Drill

This one is hard and my guess was Europe, maybe London and brush.

Adorable · Wed Oct 25, 2023 12:06 pm

I'm okay with passing.

Adorable · Post Post #9031 (isolation #14) » Tue Oct 31, 2023 4:44 am

I agree with both of your choices. I think fair could also work too.

Adorable · Wed Nov 01, 2023 10:48 am

Europe

Adorable · Mon Nov 06, 2023 11:20 am

Only options I could think of for abuser are

Lock - Locking someone inside.
Oil - There has been some oil abuse cases.

Adorable · Post Post #9062 (isolation #17) » Tue Nov 07, 2023 6:06 am

This is a clue where I am not confident on any of the choices. I thought the verb swing would fit before I posted my guesses and then I thought it was a stretch. For oil I thought that would have been a guess because of stories about abuse where oil was being involved in but that also looks like a stretch.

Whoops! I forgot to write stadium before I left.

Stadium

Adorable · Post Post #9072 (isolation #20) » Sat Nov 11, 2023 7:09 am

What else should we guess?

Adorable · Sat Nov 11, 2023 11:55 am

lilith will have to elaborate on how common is deck referring to physical abuse because I also don't know. The verb swing is common for physical abuse but I don't know if verb also counts or not. Saturn and fair are destinations.

Adorable · Sat Nov 11, 2023 12:33 pm

I'm good with those choices. I'll wait and see what lilith says.

Adorable · Post Post #9078 (isolation #23) » Sat Nov 11, 2023 2:40 pm

Swing

Fair

My guess choices for apple would be

Round - Apples are round.
Mouth - Apples goes through inside the mouth for eating.
Worm - Worms like to eat apples and I see kids drawing of a worm being inside an apple.
Poison - Snow White ate a poisonous apple.

Sorry I accidentally types on another account of mine and don't know how to delete that post.

Adorable · Post Post #9123 (isolation #27) » Sat Jan 20, 2024 8:58 am

We could do New York and worm first.

Poison was my least confident and I wasn't sure on that.

Adorable · Post Post #9126 (isolation #28) » Sat Jan 20, 2024 6:32 pm

Between poison, round, and mouth which one do you want to guess?

Adorable · Post Post #9128 (isolation #29) » Sat Jan 20, 2024 7:23 pm

I'm okay with poison.

Adorable · Post Post #9153 (isolation #30) » Mon Jan 22, 2024 5:46 am

I am stumped on this one. Round is the only one I can think of that fits cylinder. Some of your choices I also think fit for cylinder. I kind of thought block also fits because some kids block can also be shaped like a cylinder.

Adorable · Post Post #9155 (isolation #31) » Mon Jan 22, 2024 9:19 am

In post 9154, Farren wrote: I think there are enough types of BARs that are cylindrical to make it a good candidate (although admittedly not as good as ROUND).
BLOCK ... yeah, I can see it. I'd see it in terms of "both BLOCK and CYLINDER" are 3D shapes - and actually, that might explain CYLINDER over CYLINDRICAL.

Maybe ROUND > BLOCK > BAR > Pass? At this point I'm assuming ROUND was intended to be the last apple word.

I'm good with those.

Egypt and Aztec are polytheism and my guess for the third would be Olympus.

Adorable · Sat Jan 27, 2024 10:09 am

I'm good with those.

Egypt

Olympus

Aztec

Adorable · Post Post #9207 (isolation #36) » Sun Jan 28, 2024 7:33 am

My guess would be

Pupil - Iris of the eye
Watch - Observe something
Telescope - Viewing objects through a lens

Adorable · Post Post #9209 (isolation #37) » Sun Jan 28, 2024 7:58 am

Should we guess in this order Watch > Pupil > with one of line or telescope? Line and telescope I am least confident on.

Adorable · Post Post #9212 (isolation #38) » Sun Jan 28, 2024 1:02 pm

Should we guess telescope or line?

Adorable · Post Post #9228 (isolation #40) » Tue Jan 30, 2024 9:38 am

My guess would be

Litter - cats use a litter box.
Fish - cats eat fish.
Antarctica - Antarctica has snow

For the sight clue I still think telescope is the clue.

Adorable · Post Post #9230 (isolation #41) » Tue Jan 30, 2024 3:54 pm

I'm good with this order

Antarctica > Litter > Fish > Telescope

I'm still not confident on telescope and this would be my number 1 guess for sight because at some point I also thought maybe it could be star as in star gazing.

Antarctica

Litter

Fish

Telescope

Awesome! That was a good save from my team.

This one is hard.

Disease - I know disease is one of them for isolation and preventing spread of diseases.
Litter? - Didn't litter increase or decrease at some point during covid?
Suit? - Maybe those quarantine suits work condition for biological, chemical, or physical hazards.

Adorable · Post Post #9247 (isolation #45) » Sun Feb 04, 2024 7:17 pm

Fence could also work too. Disease is the only one I'm confident on.

Do you want to try this guessing order? Disease > Suit > Fence

Adorable · Mon Feb 05, 2024 11:22 am

I agree with all of those.

Moscow

Shakespere

Conductor

Adorable · Post Post #9276 (isolation #47) » Mon Feb 05, 2024 6:12 pm

Litter is the only one I can think of that fits flotsam because that is considered as trash and waste. I also thought litter fit the clue for quarantine. For the Tchaikovsky clue I still think conductor is one of the clues.

Adorable · Post Post #9278 (isolation #48) » Mon Feb 05, 2024 8:13 pm

We can do these first and then figure out what the other clues are for Tchaikovsky and quarantine.

Litter

Conductor

Pirate

Adorable · Wed Feb 07, 2024 10:18 am

I agree with berry. Horn I think is also the clue for Tchaikovsky because the instrument will play Tchaikovsky. Fence looks like it could be the clue for quarantine and I don't know what would be the second clue for brambles.

Adorable · Wed Feb 07, 2024 11:23 am

Do you think seal could be one of the clue?

I'm okay with this guess order berry, horn, fence, and we would need a fourth guess for the clue.

Adorable · Wed Feb 07, 2024 12:11 pm

I somehow overlooked orange and I think that also fits for the clue brambles. I'll have to think about this some more because I have a meeting in 15 minutes and will get back to this when I'm done with the meeting.

Adorable · Wed Feb 07, 2024 12:19 pm

I know that orange rust is a disease that attacks brambles.

Adorable · Wed Feb 07, 2024 12:28 pm

Maybe any fruit could remind some people of bramble. Other than that, I don't know what other choices fits.

Which clue do you think seal fits for?

Adorable · Wed Feb 07, 2024 12:30 pm

I read back and I missed the part where you said seal might fit for quarantine.

Adorable · Post Post #9305 (isolation #55) » Wed Feb 07, 2024 2:49 pm

I'm at either seal or orange.

Adorable · Post Post #9308 (isolation #56) » Fri Feb 09, 2024 5:46 am

Only reason I could think of if orange was a clue and farren said brambles instead of fruit, maybe it could be because fence was also a clue and if farren was to say fruit instead, then maybe he thought we would have not guessed fence.

Adorable · Post Post #9310 (isolation #57) » Fri Feb 09, 2024 9:25 am

Don't know what the third clue would be for quarantine. If I had to pick it would be seal.

Adorable · Post Post #9312 (isolation #58) » Fri Feb 09, 2024 9:49 am

Adorable · Fri Feb 09, 2024 10:33 am

Another good save.
