Oh fffs I finally got the lion one. Don't understand some of the earlier clues though! Thanks everyone!

Time40 · 16/11/2023 19:46

Well, I've got as far as Demon Police Heads for the bestsellers, but unfortunately that's not a book. I can't find any books about a Rachel, Monica or Phoebe going anywhere, either.

Finally finished thanks to the Belle clues. Thanks @KatBurglar for a fun yet annoying few hours!

@CaptainMyCaptain No, that's what it turned into. Not that originally

Got it. Thanks.

I am totally stuck on:

Belle and the lion
Science revision guides
Wedding
Bestsellers
Friends t-shirt woman.

I've read all the clues. Still stuck.

For the lion - focus on other words for Belle. The lion is not a lion.

Bestsellers - think of a synonym for each of the book titles.

CaptainMyCaptain · 16/11/2023 19:12

Science revision - which type of science? The book is in all the supermarket displays- very popular.

Wedding - another word for it, not a photo a particular type of picture.

Friends one - which character and where us she going.

@CaptainMyCaptain It's the opposite of closed, and what the sign was made of originally

But not ice?

CaptainMyCaptain · 16/11/2023 19:06

@RadRad But you said it perfectly!

Lol you know how many times I've tried this but must have been on a different picture. All done now, phew, even ordered one of the books from the library ( Bestseller one).

Is it not the classic book with three words where the last word - if you were from the West Country would be ' my ***?'.....I've tried every iteration I can think of (with and without apostrophe).and it says it's not right?!

Lion is a play on words. Think "Nicking Bent Coppers" and translate Belle for the last word.

TheaDecker · 16/11/2023 18:33

I’m all done now. Thanks to all for the clues. Am glad you got that one @SlayB !

@Lotsofpots translate Belle into English. And shorten that word.

Also a word that sounds like Lion.

I'm still hung up on the Belle Lion and the Bestsellers. I am tearing my hair out at this point.

The lion one is destroying me. I've read all the clues and cannot make any sense of it. All others done.

SlayB · 16/11/2023 18:20

I got it I was not thinking laterally… thank you x @TheaDecker 💕
