Audio Trios [BB306]
Solve each trio correctly, and you’ll ‘hear’ three related words or names begin to emerge. For example, praise/sterile/jetty = laud/barren/pier (lord/baron/peer). Or taking a turn for the numerical, also/pro/wolfed can be converted into too/for/ate, or 2/4/8. Think you’re audiby able to solve the others? 2,4,8 – why wait?
1 Remedy/pull/person
2 Scoundrel/cay/change
3 Pelt/solver/shore
4 Jockey/spun/cleaner
5 Pub/upset/eggs
6 Fathom/pierced/recent
7 Source/assess/rough
8 Sign/swag/fraud
Can you compile your own treble?
SOLUTION NEXT WEEK
BB305 SOLUTION: Pillbox (bill), frustrate (surf), advised (side), duplicity (clip), shadowy (dash), downsize (snow), ginseng (sign), fatalist (sail), backlog (black), creosote (score), blackhead (chalk), rejection (notice)

Welcome IC, and two sleek examples, though 13 is still slipping my grasp...bries..breeze...?
Meanwhile, 14: steal/goaled/led [very nice]
RK — 19 April at 04:23PM
We've got two 13s on the go. In reference to Bon's miser/lash/rebate, is miser chuff leading to chough?
Boniface — 19 April at 04:25PM
@RK - no. I will tell you that the answers are three closely related mammals...
Boniface — 19 April at 04:33PM
@IC are yours authors? (ie Furst, Aird, ?)
RK — 19 April at 05:00PM
13(a) b/l/t?
IC — 19 April at 05:08PM
Apologies - maths was never my strong point!
@DA - You're on the right track with what now appears to be 13(b). (Or 15 if you'd prefer.)
Boniface — 19 April at 06:45PM
@RK no to blt. But looking up rebate sense 2 should help...
RK — 19 April at 07:16PM
I thought rebate might be taper/tapir. But no?
Boniface — 19 April at 10:31PM
@RK believe it or not, a rebate is also a carpenter's tool...
dg — 19 April at 11:32PM
Bon,
boor?/hair/rabbet
dg — 19 April at 11:37PM
maybe not boor but piker
dg — 19 April at 11:49PM
IC's 13 = draft, winned, bries
16 tap/Indian/bread
Boniface — 20 April at 09:13AM
@dg, yep, so pika, hare, rabbit.
DA — 20 April at 11:16AM
@dg, I've been banking on your Indian being a Sioux, though still to make girls of bread and tap...
Wrong tree up which I'm barking?
dg — 20 April at 12:04PM
No, you're on the first branch.
dg — 20 April at 12:05PM
Not girls exactly....
DA — 20 April at 12:37PM
Names maybe. Which pulls in fillip [pat], and leaves us with bread -
Wonder if it will be a doh moment.
