I am at a loss, I hope one of you knows the answer.

In case it's not pariah's Dark I'd like to try

3 Tide

thanks to this puzzle, i now know far more about blood, the tower of london, poppies, and world war I than i ever desired to know. and that's all the result of 1 clue. my latest foray into research as i attempt to decipher the meaning of clue 6 had me wondering what the tower of london itself was doing during world war I, since the poppies serve to bind the clue to that time period. during WWI the tower was called back into service as a prison for the first time in 150 years to hold 11 german spies. all 11 were executed inside the tower of london. to that effect, i would like to guess EXECUTIONERS

Good guesses, but unfortunately incorrect.

Executioners is also incorrect.


My hint for clue 4: You have been dancing around this one. You can reach the answer in a few different ways. Think about how the arrow connects the two images.

I'm starting to have nightmares about these damn pics. Throwing more desperation guesses so I don't have to look at them any more.

3) stars seem to be missing from the pic, I'll guess that
4) tree? Beech was my first thought since the first pic is a beach and it's connected to the leaves, but it doesn't fit
6) remembrancer?

I'm about to give up on eating sushi again

3 cycle (btw I've asked a wolf's expert opinion in last-person thread, we'll solve this soon)
4 time (suggestion of a naughty voice)
6 presentation (https://www.royal.uk/presentation-colours)

Unfortunately none of these are correct.

TIME is correct. Just clues 3 and 6 remain unsolved. (Time was depicted by the changing of the season from summer to fall, and also literally by showing sand "falling", indicating an hour glass and the passage of time)


As for hints, Clue 3 you should consider the wolf and whether there is more to him than you can see.

Clue 6, perhaps you are delving in a bit too deep for this one. The answer will be a bit more general than the majority of the guesses. You are over-complicating this one I believe.

Sand "falling like leaves" - - aagghh! Hourglass idea never entered my head.

For #3 what about the wolf and his PACK (seems better than Cubs).
For #6 - team brainstorm required ?

Now to go visit my brick wall again . . . .


EDIT: of course #3 is a 5 letter word - not 4 as I suggested here!

PACK is incorrect. The reference to clue 3 is specifically about the wolf, rather than a larger entity that you can't see. Hope this helps

#3 what about shape or shade?
As you sorta dont see the wolf, but just its contour?

[Pariahterror]

1) stranger danger
2) library
3) Hairs
4) Time
5) hybrid
6)

Just bolding the correct answer again.

Good thinking, but unfortunately incorrect.

HAIRS is also incorrect.

I think you mean 3, which is incorrect.

A follow up hint: perhaps the wolf is not an ordinary wolf...

[alias]

Not an ordinary wolf, but in front of the full moon? I'm gonna guess where as in were (like werewolf) but with enough letters to fit
