Maybe e8?

They are 50% of the way there; maybe this gets them to 100%?

I don't know if it helps a lot, but it's better than skipping.

Writing card is placed directly to the left of the shavings card

Axe is placed elsewhere

You weren’t close with chainsaw

You were 50% there with pencil

Maybe something like Tool? Writing is
throwing me off a lot

Or maybe something like Tree/papyrus(thought I doubt it'd be a word here)

Pencil is halfway there hmmm, I mean it's not gonna be Pen of course.

writing is the most important clue

pencil is halfway there

I can't imagine it's paper with axe

Axe definitely throwing me off some cause it's mostly writing?

Maybe the opposite something like eraser?

I encourage you to read rules for how clues work and what the target word(s) can be

Even more, to go faster; I don’t mind taking 3 or 4 or 7 cards to get it, but if we take a week per round it’ll die

Am I missing something obvious? I reread the rules and...there was nothing particularly new?

Unless by 50% we're supposed to find another word with pencil(like in fact pencil sharpener)

But right now I just think we're on the right track with pencil but need more to it

Oof. No, not close.

You really think pencil is 50% of the way to table?

Sorry guys I'm here.

So we have:
- shavings -> Chainsaw (ballpark but not really close)
- writing (to the left of shavings)-> pencil (50% there)
- axe -> table (not close)
- electric
