Each of the two words in the answer are definite synonyms. Just maybe not the first definitions/unexpected parts of speech/slang/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents Avid Fan Reveal hidden contents Wear Down hey t_l - accept your argument and answer for the one from before. kinda see a connection with those two words in terms of an estimation as well. can also make arguments for the two new answers as well. still have different ones in mind. disclaimer - one of the words in my answer for the "Jealous Nut" clue is more of a type than a synonomous word. sorry bout that. all other connections are definitie synonyms. Also - where A B --> C D; A and C, B and D , C and D are synonomous BUT any three are not necessarily so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 3/12/2011 at 2:57 AM, fabpig said: Reveal hidden contents sweep clean wouldn't put it past me on the last one. this one is different. the two words to the answer I have in mind might be considered doubly synonomous; with two completely different definitions On 3/12/2011 at 2:11 AM, fabpig said: sorry, been neglecting this thanks for mentioning but no worries. I have been somewhat, also. knew this one was pretty tough. partially because it was quite difficult to come up with qualifying answers. Also, because of that, I thought there wouldn't be so many alternatives. maybe just a bad puzzle. On 3/12/2011 at 3:28 AM, benjer3 said: Reveal hidden contents Dead End? hey benjer3 - thanks for playing. I was skeptical of the relationship between the second words but looked up account and discovered "to account for" something can mean to put out of action; kill. So, okay.
