0 plainglazed Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) Well, thought I'd put this one in there but didn't.Letter of the alphabet, E Yes, that's correct. Now follow the directions as to where to place your answer and voila, second word solved? Adding: Then hopefully the theme or the connection of the five words can be guessed thereby suggesting possibilities for the other three words.

0 plainglazed Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 And for not telling the truth I've plead the fifth before. -- And for just means second word comes from the following -- not telling the truth = LIE -- I've plead refers to sounds like ( or phonetically) LIE so LI in this case -- the fifth = fifth letter of the alphabet = E -- before = direction that E is before LI -- (or just E before LIE) ELI Now knowing the first two words can you make a connection?

Think about the other two answers already derived. Same level of complication with the remainder. A root word with something added or subtracted or rearranged. These are similar. Line three is even simpler if you can notice the play (have used it once before). And again, knowing the theme will be of great help. Could be the perfect storm But no, not either or. -- Nor'easter - nor = Easter And for not telling the truth I've plead the fifth before. -- E before sounds like lie = Eli 'Cause in your local armory--it can be derived totally from the first line of the third pairing and also is a most simple POW if recognized. You might swap me in kind,--this line is a segue to next line only (not part of an answer to one of the words) For this life line's no aid; -- tiger_lily111's post #15 contains a piece Is another way to find.

0 tiger_lily111 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) I did a good bit of googling in my "spare time" today & couldn't find a direct connection between Easter & Eli,that all the words will start with E? Endure/enduring/endures or similar. Then carve may indicate removal of letters? @ chicory & others playing ... I hope we manage to solve this by early Saturday morning or I'm going to be frustrated this weekend (away from computer) ... we can do it!

No, the other three words do not start with E. Just typed in word two in my google toolbar and the auto finish drop down menu prominantly listed the answer which I know you would immediately recognize as the connection. I had left a unlabeled HINT in my response to you in post #81. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easter - lily Eli - Lilly (pharmaceutical co) Palm Lily? Some of them are kinda funny looking. & that's the last of my brainpower for 2:30 AM. Maybe after sleep ... So yea, indeed. You got the connection. Am thinking this will suggest several possibles for the other three words and then they can kinda be fit to puzzle. Not this type for #4, tho. Work with the other one you had mentioned for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
plainglazed
Could be the perfect storm
But no, not either or.
And for not telling the truth
I've plead the fifth before.
'Cause in your local armory
You might swap me in kind,
For this life line's no aid;
Is another way to find.
A forceful piece that's constant
Carved a slice of special cake.
Put it all together and
Some sense of this you'll make.
