No idea. Slip seems relatively hard to connect to most words.

For your signaling a random guess post, I'd probably just give the best 2 clue I could find but say unlimited

Yeah, slip and grace always seem to cause headaches for spymasters.

I thought about that, but I think the general tendency is to try and logic out the third word when random.org is actually the best bet. Maybe they'll start to get paranoid that they got one of the other clues accidentally correct or something, or try to connect it to the clue.

It probably works better when there is a slam-dunk 2, but not sure there is one here.

Gg all, tough draw Carl. I'll have to take a longer look at it and see if I can come anything. Trying to think of a mail/box/slip clue... maybe Delivery?

I had mail/root/slip, but maybe you're thinking of a different line from the beginning. Do this, hotel for skyscraper and bed, and then you have chest, space, root. Maybe basement works for that sometimes? Chest is the huge stretch there.

EDIT - or "cellar" which should get space and root very often.

You guys guessed well by the way, everything perfectly reasonable. I knew "night" was getting said a lot before "skyscraper", but I didn't think it mattered, as long as I gave that clue first.

Yeah I was thinking of alternate lines. Chest/space/root isn't a great set to be left with either though
