Middle Earth word game

Beren3000 · 06-10-2004, 10:06 AM

Hey everyone. How about a new game thread?
I don't exactly know the name of this game but I'll try explaining it to you:

Example of a puzzle:
-My first is a female pig
-My second is Harry Potter's friend

The first (syllable) is "sow" and the second one is "Ron" so the word I'm looking for is "Sauron". Get it?

And if you can't figure out how to write a clue to a certain syllable just take out a letter or two. For example, to enter a riddle for "Gwaihir", you can go like this:
G+ my first is a question word and my second is not there.
so the answer would be G+why+here= Gwaihir. Get it?

Rules are as usual, whoever solves one gets to post the next.
I'll start:

-My first is a buddy
-My second is a social insect
-My third is a body organ

What am I?

(I hope this thread works *crosses fingers with anticipation*)

This is neat. I just have to ask- are those clues for a person (like your first two: Sauron and Gwaihir), or for a thing (because you said 'WHAT am I')?

elixir · 06-10-2004, 02:10 PM

That's all I could come up with - sorry if it's ridiculous

-My first is a buddy: pal
-My second is a social insect: ant
-My third is a body organ: ear

Pal+ant+ear=Palantir

Beren3000 · 06-10-2004, 04:08 PM

Well, Rosie Gamgee it is a thing alright because it's the palantir as elixir said.

Elixir your go.

P.S. Sister Golden Hair, I hope you don't close this thread because of the "three active game threads" rule.

No Beren. All the game threads that exist will stay. I just don't want anymore new ones until some of the ones that exist die out. No worries.

Thanks SGH

So how about a post elixir?

elixir · 06-11-2004, 01:02 PM

Let's see...

- My first is humans
- My second is zealous
- My third is swearing

Beren3000 · 06-11-2004, 01:07 PM

Good one!

Men+eager+oath = Menegroth. Right?

elixir · 06-11-2004, 02:43 PM

Yes, that's correct!

Beren3000 · 06-11-2004, 03:00 PM

Here's another one:

-My first is a legend
-My second is "moved quickly"
-My third is a hunted animal

elixir · 06-11-2004, 06:07 PM

This is fun!

-My first is a legend: myth
-My second is "moved quickly": ran
-My third is a hunted animal: deer

Myth+ran+deer=Mithrandir

Beren3000 · 06-11-2004, 10:56 PM

Correct again!
Your post

elixir · 06-12-2004, 04:10 PM

Jippii!

- My first is an article
- My second is mist
- My third is gracefully slender

Beren3000 · 06-12-2004, 04:27 PM

(Had to look it up)

An+fog+lith = Anfauglith

elixir · 06-12-2004, 04:35 PM

Well, the third would actually be lithe, but you got the right answer anyway.

Well done!

Beren3000 · 06-12-2004, 04:43 PM

Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

Here's my post:

-My first is a column of stone
-My second is equipment

(Btw, elixir, haven't you noticed that this thread became about just the two of us shuffling answers back and forth? *sigh* )

elixir · 06-13-2004, 08:37 AM

This one is hard...

-My first is a column of stone: pillar
-My second is equipment: gear

Pillar+gear=Pelargir?

I thought that maybe I should let others also try, but then I thought: nah, I got here first!!!

Beren3000 · 06-13-2004, 10:38 AM

Well, I'm glad you enjoy the game!

Your answer is correct, go ahead and post.

elixir · 06-13-2004, 01:20 PM

- My first is a celebration
- My second is a plant
- My third is a unit of length

Beren3000 · 06-13-2004, 04:02 PM

*tilts head backwards thoughtfully*

Could it be celebration = tine
plant = ??
unit of length = ell
so the word would be Tinuviel?

Anyway, great! Finally a challenging post

Another year's gone by, and I was thinking once again, How can I take this losing hand and somehow win? Just give me One Good Year To get my feet back on the ground. I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year!
