0 bonanova Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Nikyma has [2] CAP -- Post #34 has been updated, q.v. [5] is still open but is probably just a matter of time. [6] is still open and is a challenge. I promise, as requested no clues. The connection is there, but you have to search for it. Hint: the number of dashes is the letter count of the word. Both open words have four letters. bethizi deserves honorable mention for amendment, except for the word count - very nice, otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun!
[1] bill _ _ circular
[2] bill _ _ _ top
[3] bill _ _ _ rule
[4] bill _ _ _ _ act
[5] bill _ _ _ _ mouth - two answers - bonus for both.
[6] bill _ _ _ _ rider

You needed to put the first two words together [sunset] before it related to the third word.
To get to some of these third words, you may have to some similar manipulations.
