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

Updating the previous tried words:

[1] set _ _ _ romance - previous tries: see luv duo lay bed woo wed sit too hug free two fox

[3] set _ _ _ _ heal - previous tries: mend clot right cast cure ease free well hint: use set as a verb.

I think it's fair to say something about the solution process.

Reading the spoiler will not disclose anything about either solution word.

The rules say that word1 <-> word2. In all cases this is true.

The rules also say that word2 <-> word3.

Like set <-> concrete <-> hard. Concrete sets, and concrete is hard.

In one of the word groups, word2 <-> word3 only in the sense of word1.

That is, if you looked at word2 and word3 without thinking of word1 you would not see a connection.

Kind of like, if concrete hasn't set, it's not hard.

There.

No hint about the words. ;)

Sorry ... I had to put you out of your misery... ;)

No clue as to why that one was difficult.

Maybe because Sun <-> Romance is weak.

But I thought once someone thinks of Sunset, they might think romantic thoughts.

Better might have been

set _ _ _ romantic

Final Tally:

[1] set S E T romance/romantic -- by Nikyma

[2] set J E T celebs -- by LIS

[3] set B O N E heal by LIS

[4] set S T A G E play -- by LIS/Nikyma

[5] set G R O U P tribe -- by LIS

[6] set P L A C E decimal -- by Nikyma

[7] set C O N C R E T E hard -- by LIS

[8] set C O L L E C T I ON potpourri -- by Nikyma

Phew!!! I'm not sure why that one was so tough either. But, I enjoyed the misery.

More, please!

I prefer unfinnished puzzles to remain open - an extra clue ok(ish) - can be solved later or never - anyway call this one BrainDenT!

More is fine, I'll try to SET one soon.

Nikyama did well with No.8

Should have mistery but misery is apt this time
