wax+abs = sculpt/sculpture
wax+ace = playing card
wax+arm = cast
wax+art = crayon

nothing jumping out yet for e7/e8 nor for what a3 actually is

gonna look at it fresh this morning and hopefully get inspired

could be sculpture, but that's a tougher word that they'd give more confirmers for like Venus and figure/figurine and other stuff like that

watercolor wouldn't be a clue for sculpture, either....still need to figure out the real w10 assuming watercolor is wrong

I dismissed it last night because wax wasn't capitalized, but starting to like museum again

wax museum
art museum
exhibit/exhibits

I guess they coulda done famous artists like Warhol but then we may go on artist and not museum

I dunno; not capitalizing it is a big deal tho; it’s a Wax Museum, whether Tussaud’s or Ripley’s or any other one

But I’m struggling to find something other than exhibit for e7

Any other thoughts?

I don’t love it but since we have wax/art/watercolor/exhibit as potential words they were mentioning, museum works best for those

If we are off on those words, they’ll clue again and get us back on course

I spent a lot of time deciding whether or not to capitalize "wax". Ultimately I decided that "a wax museum" is a thing. Good job us usual by the guessers figuring it out.

I'm sure we all lamented using "S" on smooch last round. Having "Smithsonian" available would have made this a cake walk.

Yeah I figured it was ok to not capitalize, but capitalizing it would have immediately narrowed it to either

House of Wax
Wax museum

All other uses of wax would be non-capitalized
