I bet our S6 is the same. Can’t imagine it’s not. I might know your W4, but I think W7(or 8) gets there more directly.

w7 is the best version I think

there is w4 or w6 as another version of w4, but w7 is much more descriptive and better; I can't imagine a better w than w7

Just read this, and no. I actually quite like my S8, but obv won’t push it if no one else seems to have it figured out.

let's see what others say tonight and in the morning

I'm confident w7+s6 gets it, but if people have other ideas or how to get it in one clue sometimes without messing up the 2-clue equity, then maybe we can take another path

my concern is if we fail on w+s then the other letters suck and we may be screwed, so I'm likely to advocate for the safe 2-word get over the 1 word potential bink

This was my first thought and I like it a lot. Not sure it gets it in 1, but it certainly gets on the right track to solve it next turn I would think.

I think your s8 is a different version of s6 unless we are not thinking of the same thing

Hmm

If it was wood they'd do Aspen or something i think it would at least be discussed and be easier.
So its not wood cuz A didnt even come up.

But ya know they did have a w4 and s6 combo....which could be wood -> something

How do you make shavings?
An axe or chainsaw (probably not)

A regular saw?

Ice shavings yh thats a thing

I wouldn't have thought of Wood for Aspen, it's definitely an idea. I'd like to figure out one of the W words and then feel OK about it
