I agree with all of that and I find it unlikely that sleigh is a word on the list.

And I forgot that P4 was a thing that literally no one knew without looking it up.

Can you think of anything else that makes sense tho? I think we're gonna have to end up guessing it even though it feels weird.

It occured to me that v7 could be vehicle, so that is another point in sleigh's favour.

I say we just guess it and move on.

Yeah that’s it

Zeus and bolt mentioned Prancer their first posts and I did on my 2nd post after getting my “more esoteric than shadowfax” clue post out of the way

Not sure what Ervin’s first post was about but his second was also for p7

Ervin was asking if p7 was like p4. I've never heard of a pung either.

Airborne is 8 letters.

I thought s7 could be santa's, but I wasn't sure if apostrophes count as letters, or even if they are legal. Is any punctuation fine?

That’s an open question

I think apostrophe should be ok; it’s still one word

But open to thoughts

The most obvious ones to me are S5 which is a direct connection, and another S5, which requires a little more imagination but has some ace potential. And A3 gets it every time as a 2nd clue if we don't ace it. B3 helps also.

We should also remember that we have the Sides-Whisperer guessing so we can probably be more daring with our cluing.

S5-imagintation feels a bit tenuous to me- could set them off in rhe wrong direction

I know now s5

And think we should do it. Should ace it

I think the more obvious S5 is the right place to start. And A3 or B3 will definitely get there in 2 if we miss on the first one.
