Linkword

m25jet — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 01:20:19 GMT

This game is relatively straightforward in that you just have to find one word that links two words. The first word given as a clue ends with the linkword and the second word given as a clue starts with the linkword. So, for example, we could have the following:

Pin**** and ****teaser. In this example the missing word would be Prick - ie: Pinprick and Prickteaser.

I'll give you another one to start the thread off - if you feel like having a go see if you can work out the answer and then submit your own two words following the same format as described above once you have answered the post. So, to start off with, we have:

Fire**** and ****reading

Well done Rose, it was Proof.

Film - ie: Clingfilm and Filmbuff, although strictly speaking "Filmbuff" is two separate words with a space between the M & B, not one word joined together.

Air**** and ****wreck

There are quite a few options for this question - ie: "one", "body", "thing", and "where" but the object of the game is to provide a linkword that is the second half of the first word, and which is also the first half of the second word. The linkword should fit in the middle of the two clues to create the link - for example, in one of my other previous posts we had Mini**** and ****shaft. The answer was "cam" - ie: Minicam & Camshaft. Ideally there should only be one correct answer as to the identity of the linkword.

Have another go:

Gun**** and ****fly

Re: Linkword

rose2008-2008 — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:11:21 GMT

The word I was thinking of was "Man" - ie: Knifeman & Manage. The word "Gunpoint" could be consided a correct alternative but "Pointage" is a French word, so seeing as this thread consists of English words the second word wouldn't count.

Back

Ahhh yes i see what you meant about the Knife one.

m25jet — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:46:32 GMT

Work - ie: Needlework and Workshy

You got the last one right Rose, and you set the clues up correctly, so you must be getting the hang of the game now.
