Compile also has a connotation of gathering together (I think), so maybe gold?

My ranking:

1. bug
2. time
3. file

The more I think about it, the weaker the cool-file connection seems. New ranking:

1. bug
2. file
3. time

[SevenSpirits]

I think bug and file are obvious. I would like for us to guess those two in either order.

Time or maybe paper are options for the third one. But I would rather try to get the third scythian word first. Center?

Point to bug

Point to file

Time is really obvious. Still iffy on on Scythian connections...

[SevenSpirits]

I'm good with trying time.

I don't think it's worth trying to guess the third Scythian word if we don't have a really strong candidate. As more and more words are colored in on the grid, the odds for guessing get steadily worse.

points to TIME

Edit: whoops, Seven, I misread your post. Sorry, I should have waited for consensus.

[Commodore]

Given Ipecac's earlier statement, I think that is fairly consensusy. Time: It's consensual!

[DaveV]

I know ipecac was the one that suggested Time in the first place. I read Seven's post #133 without reading #135 and thought I'd gone against his wishes.
