I can't get turned on by any Turkish word that I can find and so I give up.

In the meantime I was posting something to keep us going, but I forgot to give the necessary information on length and intersecting letter. Here it is for what it's worth at this stage, where most fodorites seem to have lost interest:

_ _ _ A _ _ _

Since Harzer has given up..so do I

SO Here it is.





Aphrodiasis....

Mispronouced you might come up with aphrodisiac

Temple to Aphrodite , goddess of love

MArquis de Sade , arrrested for using above! That was an inadvertent clue supplied by Betty's word

Turkey , betty guessed

Major archeology discovery ..Dig!

See that was easy

So far I've only bee able to unscramble 3 words in your clue! But it is earl yet!

You Trickster..I got the clue , now to find the answer!

(I'll start a new one to keep this thread going. See the other crossword thread for solution to Jody's clue.)

NEW WORD:

7 letters; one of them is "a"

Mode of transport for a horseless palio on the Velino River

Carol..HArzer has already started a new word..see above

I'm sorry! I meant to post this on the OTHER crossword thread but got confused. THIS thread has the solution to Jody's clue and also has a new word to figure out. The OTHER thread is lying dormant, so I'll go there now.

okay 3days and I know every lake in the world! but none fit..another clue please harzer

I think I have harzer's word: Lake BALATON (Hungary)- NOT A LAB backwards.

Anyone interested in continuing this?

I need a head-banging emoticon!

I just know you are correct!

Balaton HAS to be correct. It makes perfect sense, since the clue was written backwards.

OK, cmt and jody, since you both think I'm right and apparently are still interested in our little game, I'll offer this one. Perhaps some others will join in.

The lioness sleeps here in all seasons. 10 letters (11 in an alternate spelling), 4th letter is T.

I'm off to bed. Will check back in the morning.

Wild guess


Fontevrault Eleanor of Acquitaine burial place?

Not so wild, jody. You are correct! I was prepared to add "Also the lion and a cub." (Henry II and Richard the Lionheart) Obviously, you didn't need the extra clue. My clue refers, of course, to the great movie "The Lion in Winter." BTW, the other spelling is Fontevraud.

So, want to try to come up with another one, in addition to the one you have going on the other thread?

I'll cede my turn if someone else wants to go! I'm getting stumped for words and clues!

Did you see the answer to the "mispronounced" place..you had the right country..Turkey..
The answer was Aphrodiasis!

Hey - can I set one?
I'm doing better at thinking up clues than getting an answer! :(

Idle physician filmed here conversing with unconventional patients.

Steve: Tell us how many letters. Also usually we use one letter from the previous word, and we tell where in the new word that letter appears. (But if you think your word is particularly easy you can leave that out.)

Sorry folks! OK - the letter A is the second.
The answer is two words (5/5)
(- hope that doesn't make it TOO easy!)

_ A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Reposting

_ A _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _

Saint Lucia??
