Maybe this would help: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Category:Towers

Perhaps it will help if I divide the clue up?

If you want to play | shortly pay | in | (what) [sounds like a dour | frozen world | with a different note.]

Each |section| should be considered separately, while the third section in the [square brackets] refers back to the combination of the other two. 'What' is just a linking word.

hS

Tol-in-Gaurhoth? On the basis that it has a short "toll", "in", and "Hoth"? It was Hoth that did it.

Oh, and Gaur sounds like dour, with the note G switched in?

Correct on every point; and you play there. :D

TOL-IN-GAURHOTH - If you want to play, shortly pay in what sounds like a dour, frozen world with a different note.
ORTHANC - Alternately, it's ok, thank the Sea for the toothed summit.
WEATHERTOP - It doesn't matter... or bottom, don't light any fires.
ELOSTIRION - If you hear a greeting (or more than one) before the Elvish city, look to the west.
BARAD-DUR - It's bad, but you need Marie's bane inside - duh, pretty much. Take a third of what one founded.

Theme: Towers

I believe you got the password, G55, so over to you.

Next password coming up!

What is the frozen world and what is the 'want to play?' (Well done, by the way!)

This one is a little weird in format, because I had an idea (and they don't lead you anywhere good). But the clues are not made to be difficult, on the contrary I think you'll get them fairly quickly. There's no direct theme, so instead the password gets a title:


Google Maps Is Your Friend

1. Long-lost cousin appears near Henderson & McClellan, Aurora, Ontario, Canada
2. Monster's dwelling. Note her.
3. Men of Light almost in New Zealand (and throughout the world, really)!
4. Hill in the oceans and in meals.
5. Lands seen through otoscope - except for their far end.
6. Barrow-dweller off the coast of Britain.
7. Lost lord finally found near Woodbine & Danforth, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
8. Cursed man in northern Italy.


Hope you enjoy!

Hoth is a frozen planet from Star Wars. And TIG is the Werewolf thread! (great straight clue, Hui! That was awesome!)

4. Tuna

8. Turin

1. Morwen (NORM+WE(ller))

7. Amroth (from Amroth Avenue)

6/ The Isle of WIGHT.

hS

3/ DUNEDIN is nearly Dunedain.

hS

1/ A little south of the junction is UNDERHILL Crescent, after the family who decided Frodo must be a cousin.

hS

2/ After a brief digression into Scylla and Charybdis, I remembered that there's a pretty famous British loch-dwelling monster, who can claim the note A and become NESSA.

hS

5. An otoscope is that weird thing used for looking in your ear, so... EA, the World That Is?

hS

1. Long-lost cousin appears near Henderson & McClellan, Aurora, Ontario, Canada
2. Monster's dwelling. Note her.
3. DUNEDAIN: Men of Light almost in New Zealand (and throughout the world, really)!
4. Lands seen through otoscope - except for their far end.
5. TUNA: Hill in the oceans and in meals.
6. WIGHT: Barrow-dweller off the coast of Britain.
7. AMROTH: Lost lord finally found near Woodbine & Danforth, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
8. TURIN: Cursed man in northern Italy.


Accidentally switched a couple clues around. Fixed now.

Morwen is incorrect. The rest are right.

Edit - crossed with Hui's few

1. Holman, from Holman Crescent.

1. UNDERHILL: Long-lost cousin appears near Henderson & McClellan, Aurora, Ontario, Canada
2. NESSA: Monster's dwelling. Note her.
3. DUNEDAIN: Men of Light almost in New Zealand (and throughout the world, really)!
4. Lands seen through otoscope - except for their far end.
5. TUNA: Hill in the oceans and in meals.
6. WIGHT: Barrow-dweller off the coast of Britain.
7. AMROTH: Lost lord finally found near Woodbine & Danforth, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
8. TURIN: Cursed man in northern Italy.

It is that weird thing indeed. And you look into the "ear" (medically vague term) with it. But you can see something a teeeny bit more specific that would give you a different answer. You would know this term, it's not an obscure bit of anatomy, but maybe a google search will help trigger the right association.

Hui got the answer, it's Underhill.

Hearthat for the password?

Indeed.



1. UNDERHILL: Long-lost cousin appears near Henderson & McClellan, Aurora, Ontario, Canada

6. WIGHT: Barrow-dweller off the coast of Britain.
7. AMROTH: Lost lord finally found near Woodbine & Danforth, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
8. TURIN: Cursed man in northern Italy.
?

4. Middle Earth (Remove the ending - TH - and you get middle ear)

Correctomundo!

Hope that was fun. I had a collection of sound-alikes and geographical Tolkien in my head, and I thought I'll put them together into a password. I get a little happy every time I see the street names when I'm in those areas.

Over to Urwen now!

It'll take a while. In the meantime, try to solve my question in 'Bad Guy Trivia' thread.

Well, since you seem more interested in this, here you go.


1. A deceiver and a headless element circulate for him.
2. A confused Newfoundlander, within, reveals her.
3. Behold a headless mythical creature. In turmoil, he is revealed.
4. A den and a pronoun are in disarray for him.
5. A girl and a German number return for her.
6. Rearrange a note in danger, and he is revealed.
7. A Hawaiian girl stumbles upon an element within an article. She is revealed.

5. Nienna = Ein + Ann?

1. A deceiver and a headless element circulate for him.
2. A confused Newfoundlander, within, reveals her.
3. Behold a headless mythical creature. In turmoil, he is revealed.
4. A den and a pronoun are in disarray for him.
NIENNA: A girl and a German number return for her.
6. Rearrange a note in danger, and he is revealed.
7. A Hawaiian girl stumbles upon an element within an article. She is revealed.

Is this one too difficult?

It is the weekend and many of us are busy. :)

hS

Don't most jobs happen during weekdays, meaning that people should be less busy on weekends? Or is it different where you live?

Speaking for myself, I have a wife, two small children, and shopping to do. :) At work, I can slack off... ;)

(Also: at work I'm stuck in front of a computer anyway. At home, I have access to books and so forth.)

hS

Like Hui - lots of Downs happens for me in breaks between lectures during the week. I think it's true for many Downers that they Downs during work/school hours, depending on the nature of their work.

But that aside, I haven't had any bright ideas so far.

...Actually...


4. Ilmare? lair + me?

Nope.

Is 6 ANGROD, changing the E of DANGER into an O?

No.

Well, kaikamahine is the Hawaiian word for girl, but that's too many k's for most Tolkien names. There's a song called Hawaiian Girl, too. Or perhaps we're looking for a popular girls' name in Hawaii. Or a famous Hawaiian girl.

So ....

The above-mentioned song actually *does* appear to mention thd girl's name:

Aloha Wau Ia Oe (if that's her name).

And I think Aloha was in a list of popular Hawaiian girls' names that I found. But can it firm a Tolkienian name when mixed with a pronoun? Let's see ....

Whoops! This one adds an element within an article. Which I was thinking, yesterday, must be a--n, since splitting the at the end of a word seemed less likely for a feminine name.

Perhaps the article surrounds all the other letters?

Nope. Think Disney.

Moana?
