WHITFURROWS: Tiny amount of wrinkles are found here.
BUDGEFORD: Move vehicle here (might need a push?)
HARDBOTTLE: It’s not easy here – it requires courage.
SCARY: Terrifying place.
LONGBOTTOM: Yearn, but not for a high thing (or place).
PINCUP: Dressmaking tool gets an award here?

THEME: PLACES IN THE SHIRE.

PASSWORD: 'I'DRANN' (Sindarin for 'The Shire.')

Well, what can I say?

Don't feel you need to hold back when you know the answer.

I stumbled across the Sindarin word 'I'Drann' and decided it might be quite easy to make a Shire password puzzle with it. I was going to post no letters highlighted and see if you could work out where the password was.

Whilst the names *are* all on the same map, I still say it was jolly well done. (The solving, I mean!)

I thought the first to fall would be 'Longbottom,' though!

Over to Huey, and well-deserved!

(P.S. The red ones are all third letters, and should line up perfectly, but Word (and the threads) have other ideas).
