If y’all have a legal u word then go for it

Worst case it opens up i3 which is a lock

userer

A usurer is a loanshark. Maybe userer is an alternate spelling. Otherwise, no idea.

I got nothin'. So if we assume what you say is correct, any idea on the other clues? I3 is a lock apparently.

A5 is usury. The only I3 lock that I can think of would be IRS if the answer is "tax". I'd like to have a thought of A7, D7, or A12.

IRS is the first thing I thought of too, but we definitely would've had audit/accountant clues if it was tax.

I think we just bold loanshark and move onto the next clue. We can't even be sure what this clue is lol.

Could bank fit?

It could fit. Do you have any ideas for the A and I clues that make you like bank?

D7 could be deposit. A7 could be America? That could obviously go lots of ways, but ervin did say it was only good as a confirmer.

I3 = ING? That is a bank in Australia, but I dunno if Americans know it.

I really don't know about the others, but I imagine there are a bunch of banks that I've never even heard of that could possibly fit some of the clues.

Could it be as simple as "shark"?

I know Great White, Hammerhead, and that's about it. And "Jaws" would be a bink. The letters available were A/UNKQ on the outside. IH/DL on the next level inside.

Any comments on what I posted?

Sorry. I've never heard of ING. Usury is a crime for predatory high interest and I'm having a hard time getting to bank. But it's probably not "shark" because H10 wasn't named, which would be hammerhead. Let's move forward.

bank

I spelt usury wrong sorry but yh

UBS was probably illegal as U3?
SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread Quote
06-24-2024 , 10:23 AM
yeah it was for ING, which we do have in the US as an online bank, plus I think generally they are one of the larger banks in the world

UBS is illegal bc the b stands for bank, yes


"a7->d7 isn't bad, either"

account -> deposit


good job getting there; there weren't any great 1-hit clues since words like account and America hit a lot of things

h6 is good but not sure it gets it in 1; a lot of ways to go with that by itself
