yeah, dog and pack

l6 is lupine, which we determined is illegal because lupus/lupinus is latin for wolf; it's borderline, but close enough to avoid

Lupin would by legal L5 and you thought of lycan and others as well

d4 would have been dire

L8 works but it might be a shadowfax.

P5 or P6 should do it if there’s a UNKQ that sets them up.

I think I know where you're going with this and think there’s enough potential to give it a go for a one-shot.

P5 is the best clue but gotta get there first

Q5 gets the domain and then p5 brings it home but not a one shot unless they deduce the p5

I've got another l8 that could potentially be a 1 shot. Could go two ways I suppose but a6 would keep them in the right domain.

I much prefer Q6 to Q5.

But I also think D1iab’s L8 is the way.

Unless the l8 is a real banger I'd rather work our way to p5.

And by “I think so,” I’m like 95%. I guess there could be something else you’re thinking of, but I doubt it.

If you think you do, then you do. I'm not sure which one is better, though I do have a bad feeling that one of them will shadowfax it. The other is much safer.

I get what you mean about the former, but there’s quite a context cue imo.

I’m good with either of the L8s. I’d like for Nich or bolt to know what we’re talking about and sign off, because it seems they’re both eyeing the right side card to open up P5.

I can't sign off on L8, but bold it if you're confident that Zeus and Ervin can get the answer.

I dunno the L

If y’all are confident then go for it

But don’t miss, as p6 (or different p5 really) gets it with a few different domain words first so you don’t get to p from that side of the board

So go for it, just don’t miss
