Great, thanks. I'll take a look later. It's good to have new people as I think that both yk and I are exhausting our cache of clues....

Hi, I got Intrepid's clue with the extensive hints, so I'm inviting people to post another clue.

Here's your chance to play!

I just posted a new clue. This one should be very doable as well.

grandmere has kindly let someone else take her place. So, another opportunity, people!

Maybe we need to provide monetary incentives.

If there's not enough activity on the Fodors game thread, you might like to play on th copycat game thread on the Francophile forum. It's in English. The answers have to be related in some way to France, French culture, French people, etc. Here's the link to the first post. There happens to be an unsolved clue still open now.

How difficult is it, cmt?

I should probably just look at one thing....

Or maybe I should just stealing other clues from the other forum and put them here.

Or you can play on a similar thread on the Italian Language forum. I give you permission to take my turn. (I forgot that it was my turn, and no one reminded me, so the thread died.) The original rule was that the clues had to be posted in Italian, but, for now, if you don't know any Italian at all, but seriously want to post and solve clues re Italian culture, go ahead. http://forums.about.com/ab-italian/messages?msg=2793.1

111op: It is generally medium difficulty--not as obscure as some of the Fodors ones can be, and not multiple answers in one puzzle usually. But it all depends on who is playing at the moment. One thing that makes it easier is we know that all clues are French-related, so that limits things. You can read through the thread and see what it's like. The current clue is about some dog in French lit.

The link is good. Try again. (If you aren't logged into a Delphi ID, click on the &quot;enter as a guest&quot; option. If it still doesn't work, log into you Delphi account and then try the link again.

Thanks, I see it now. I don't know it off the top of my head though.

For those interested:

THE NEXT WORD
is a dog's name in 8 letters with the T of our iceman occupying the 6th and 7th spots. That dog is famous in French lit for walking a great male writer that we all know.

Maybe you should post a clue from Hong Kong.

When are you coming back?
