And then yield the thread to me! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Sorry, people. I had trouble solving the clues, but _LIN___ just beckoned to me (must be all those days at PoF . . . )

Anywhen, is #1 Gamgee?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-22-2005, 10:00 PM

#1 is not Gamgee..

Since I'm looking at the clue again, and finding that it is ridiculously difficult, here's a few hints.

1) it is an object.

2) it is two words.

3) the first part of the clue reference the second word.

4) the second part of the clue references the first word.

Now it should be much easier.

I think.

*Saucepan shamelessly takes Sophia's hint to the phantom on the Cryptic Clues thread*

Airy entrance for merpeople = Gill Door

So the answer to #5 must be Gildor, who was "well met" by Frodo, Sam and Pippin.

But you're right, of course.

I was wondering when you'd show up...

I have been pondering this for so long!

Is #7 Ladros?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-23-2005, 04:29 PM

#7 is not Ladros. Sorry...

the lad part of the clue is almost right, but not quite... the last part should be applied to the entire clue.

7. Boy precedes one small ball walking backwards.

Boy = Lad
One = A
Small ball = Bal

Which give Ladabal.

But, walking backwards, it is Labadal, aka Turin's friend Sador.
