We can bold A14 now as long as the guessers can agree that we don't have to hint at every possible clue that might point at the answer when the clue we give is perfectly straightforward.

Gotta wait for d1

And yeah, no need to mention others

It’s just tricky when people don’t wanna guess bread for toast bc we didn’t hint at loaf (just one recent example of many others in the thread) so even when straightforward it’s scary to not hint at other words

So yeah, what you said

Perhaps I've been overthinking too much this game or had some easier turns, I just see everyone else figuring out every word in people's posts and being dead certain and I didn't get d5 or L8 lol

Aww man, I was totally going to screenshot dog before it was bolded. Thought maybe it could be dog—>paws, which could be claws.

Haven’t given thought to claws in the context of the other cards, but I’ll take a look.

J4/J7 could help. Seems like maybe J7 = J4+ing

Jump/jumping maybe? There's probably not a ton of options assuming that it is j___ing.

If that is true then l7 could also be leaping.

Any more thoughts? I really doubt the answer is claws, but I've got absolutely nothing.

All I could come up with was show (show jumping, dog show) and P4 could be plot. But if L7 is leaping, then show doesn’t make sense anymore.

Jumping
Joshing
Jacking
Jesting
Jailing

I’m sure there are other J4-ing words, but can’t be many. And of the ones above, I gotta believe it’s jumping.

Between claws and show I’m on show, but I certainly don’t expect it to be correct or even close.
