What's with a bean clue? I tried both a synonym for the bean and the type of bean, and none of the locations incorporates any letters of that.....
|
I'm lost, and nobody else seems to be around, so (unless you think that they will come back) could you give some hints, please?
|
Try the easy ones, the first L and the E
|
I have, but can't make sense of them either. Garlic is clove, but no place there contains clove. And I've searched for anything shared by three names listed, and found nothing.
|
I found 'church leaders'.
|
The only one I could think of for E clue is CELEBRANT, based on the fact that a get together is a party i.e CELEBRATION.
|
And the closest I could come to L clue is NIMRODEL. (IDLER+??)
|
A pity there's no RIVERDALE, because you can make that from IDLER + AIL + REV.

I only found the name GEORGE.
|
LANGWELL for 4 (There is James Whitney, James Washington, James Hood and James Langwell)
|
The only commonality I can find between Washington, Whitney and Hood is that they're the names of peaks (in America)- perhaps the one that was left out is the LONELY MOUNTAIN?
Edit: x'd with Urwen. Uh- who are those people? |
There are politicians with those three surnames, but I tried subtracting IT from politician/s and couldn't come up with anything.
|
Sorry ... should have read the end of Nerwen's post!

People I've found with Google. |
LONELY MOUNTAIN it is
|
Still can't find anything for the E clue, unless it's EGLADIL?
|
And could we get some hints for other clues too?
|
C'mon- what is famously slow, and also famously cooked with garlic?
|
Also, you have the password, but not exactly the theme, which would help

|
Snails?
|
Isn't the theme places in Rhovanion?
|
Okay, Escargot is cooked with garlic, but how do 'church leaders' factor in?
|
Maybe the theme is 'Route of Thorin and company' or 'Places in the Hobbit' (as in, the book)
|
Esgaroth?
Exchange the c for the h for 'switch church leaders?' Oh - switch the letter leading/heading the WORD. I've never watched Game of Thrones, but I know Sean Bean's character dies in it, and I *have* heard of the original meaning of decimation. Was his character executed because they executed every tenth man? |

_______ 1 has nothing whatsoever to do with Sean Bean. Orson Bean, neither. |

What about this:

So we won't be getting any hints for the harder ones?
|
I can't see how the manors of a Roman family can be anything but VILLAS, but the only names containing that word are SACKVILLE and (of course) SACKVILLE-BAGGINS.
|
Unless it's GREAT SMIALS, a sort of manor house in the Shire, with 'Great' being noble degree and 'Smials' being dwellings ... all owned by the Thain.
|
You forget the letters N and D, from noble degree.
|
Roman and Halls are not linked
|
Guess we won't be getting any further hints, then.
|
Second L clue: Elvenking's Halls?
|
Also please confirm/deny my theme guess, thank you.
