I don’t care for Angel or Iron honestly. Angel + Pit seems to have so many divine associations that I worry Fiend was picked to avoid it. Iron + Pit...I guess I don’t see the Iron connection to Fiend at any level really.

Also just to throw this out there, enemies are called Fiends in FFX. I don’t see any obvious association but I mention it since our community is well-suited to gaming clues.

Other Fiend thoughts:

*Dragon - like it as much as Angel, but very possibly red.
*Charge - monsters charge at you as a general trope.
*Net - can capture or be used to defend against fiends
*Beat - a Fiend might beat you, or the hero’s could defeat the fiends in a story.

Left to my own devices I’d probably record that I lean Angel but pass rather than guess.

I could see Dragon, or maybe Agent, as enemies that might get called fiendish.  I still lean Angel.  That said, I'd also be ok with a Pass; we're behind but not super behind.  Dave or Fenn, you want to do the pointing?  I'm off to bed.

I thought Dragon would be a Hunted word, but now that they have Shot Mammoth, I'm leaning toward Bob just missing the Dragon connection when he made the clue.

To keep the game moving, and because we don't seem to have consensus:

Pesticide 2

Hmm, let`s see.


Pesticides are used to protect BERRIES from bugs and the like, I believe. 

Pesticide can be used on berries that are usually placed in ROWS so that they can be harvested quickly.
It can be used to COVER Berries.

Can you do a CYCLE of Pesticide in English?


Um, I`m not really confident in anything other than Berry.

a BERRY is sprayed with pesticides
pesticides are a chemical AGENT

You spray plants that are in a ROW
COVER the plants in pesticide

Ooh, that's a tricky one. I see five words which at least vaguely fit:


* Cycle: Pesticides are applied on a cycle.

* Water: Pesticides are often mixed with water.

* Berry: You could apply pesticides to a berry crop.

* Agents: Pesticides are chemical agents.

* Cover: Pesticides cover stuff.


I slightly prefer Cycle and Cover. Whatever we pick should be two words which are otherwise very difficult to clue together.

In no particular order:
Agent - as in chemical agent
Water - often a liquid. Also you might want to put pesticides in water.
Berry - pesticides are used on crops
Net - another way of catching insects
Iron - there are probably iron compounds that act as pesticides

Not seeing anything else, but it's possible there's a brand name I don't know. Cover maybe?

I think I like Agent and Berry here.

If we end up guessing Agent, do we assume that's our third Hunted word, and pass our bonus guess?
