M4 into m7, or m7 into m4 definitely gets it. Not sure which is more likely to hit in 1, but I think we should stay on that side of the board if possible since it kinda sucks to have 2 of the same letter next to each other.
I think it's spew to not go with an M clue while we have so many good ones available to us unless the a7 is a slam dunk can't miss, and I don't think it is.
I still like m4 or m7, but again, I'm not sure what the other m words are...I might know one of them, but it's kinda meh so maybe not.
I wonder how I can hint to it cause I think you'd like it a good bit. There's an M8 that I think is decent and would probably be my pick if we don't do A7, it's in the same domain. Pretty different domain from the 2 M4s
Maybe just M4 tho and try to get home with next clue
m4/m7 combo is the most important one to figure out it seems
what all does milk clue for?
drinks: shakes, coffee, tea, etc
food: eggs, honey, cookies, cheese
farm: cow, goat, etc.
body: milk from mother
magnesium: milk of magnesia
shake: malt would be the clue
coffee: a7 would be arabica bean; m9 would be machiatto; the most obvious m5 mocha wasn't mentioned; can't think of an m7 right now
tea: t6 for Tetley woulda been mentioned; also m5 for matcha
eggs: can't think of many words for m/a/t for eggs right now
honey: same as eggs
cookies: m7 would be monster; a7 no clue; they woulda just clued macaraon/macaroon for cookie tho for 1 shot
cheese: muenster woulda been the clue
cow: angus woulda been mentioned; moo woulda been the clue though
goat: same as eggs/honey
milk from mother: mammals or mammaries would be the clues; a7 would be anatomy; t4 for tits woulda been mentioned
magnesium: milk of magnesia; a7 is antacid; but I don't think so
