Question

A number of you said you like the first one.

Here's another.

I read somewhere that the word "set" has the greatest

number of distinct meanings. So, let's see. Again, the

number of dashes indicates the number of letters in the

connecting words.

[1] set _ _ _ romance

[2] set _ _ _ celebs

[3] set _ _ _ _ heal

[4] set _ _ _ _ _ play

[5] set _ _ _ _ _ tribe

[6] set _ _ _ _ _ decimal

[7] set _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ hard

[8] set _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ potpourri

Nikyma, great job. ;)

Four of yours work very well, but they're different from the solution words.

It's hard to craft this kind of puzzle to have totally unique answers, guess. :huh:

More clues:

for [1], the solution word relates more strongly to set.

for [2], the solution word is no better than Nikyma's. To find it, make set a verb.

for [4], the solution word is no better than Nikyma's. To find it, make set a verb.

for [6], the solution word is no better than Nikyma's. To find it, make set a verb.

for [8], the solution word relates just a little better to set. What would you guess if the 3rd word were hobby?

Some creative words, indeed:

LIS with Match - certainly fits, and I love playing tennis, but again, think of "set" as a verb.

grey cells with cure and lay - also fit the words, altho set and cure are not as good a fit as the solution word.

LIS with bed - certainly romantic, but doesn't fit with set as well as lay does. but the solution word for #1 is so close to set it should be an easy find.

So far, Kudos to ...

LIS [2] Jet

LIS [5] Group

LIS [7] Concrete

Nikyma [8] Collection

Need these:

[1] set _ _ _ romance

[3] set _ _ _ _ heal

[4] set _ _ _ _ _ play

[6] set _ _ _ _ _ decimal

I'll check back tonight and stick in a random letter for any still remaining. ;)
