1. Diabetic hazard
2. Library
3. Lunar
4. Pass (I was trying to come up with another term for shore leave)
5. Diving
6. Bloodletting

Welcome back. Still just number 2 for now. (I'm also happy to see you know to be careful with your rule )

[SeaFlower]

Let's give it a try

1 CHILDREN DENTAL (lollipop fits of course but...)
2 LIBRARY
3 HORNY (yes, I know)
4 SEED
5 HORROR
6 COMMEMORATED

Just a thought while on my break: reverse image search says that 5 is a picture of a ghost shark. Ghosts fits?

[sammyy2qt]

1 lollipop sweet
2 LIBRARY
3 wolves
4 Fall
5 HORROR
6 kings

[alias]

And this is a longshot, but I think 6 might be hemophiliacs. Reverse image search came up river of blood tower of london, and hemophilia is a disease that frequently shows up in members of the British royal family. Really don't think its any kind of right, but hopefully someone can use this to bring in more likely thoughts

[SeaFlower]

adding alias guesses

1 children sweet
2 library
3 scary
4 heap
5 ghosts
6 hemophiliacs

To answer everyone, no new guesses are correct. Even hemophiliacs.

[alias]

1) diabetic alerts
2) library
3) lupus (latin for wolf)
4) grow (not likely, but the arrow makes me think it's showing the plant coming from the sand... but few plants actually grow in sand so not likely)
5) undead (playing off the ghosts idea)
6) Papaveraceae (also probably wrong. The flowers are poppies, ceramic poppies but poppies. This is the family poppies come from, and it's 12 letters)

Very creative, however still only number 2 is correct.

Here’s another shot at this one.

1. Pinwheel sucker
2. Library
3. Alpha
4. Line
5. Dorsal
6. ???

[MarvHarvey]

That ghost shark doesn't appear to have a dorsal fin. I like your other guesses especially #1.

[alias]

So, to make this easier for us, I compiled a list of everything we have guessed so far so that we don't keep guessing the same things. The ones in [ ] haven't been confirmed as of the time of this post, and I pulled out the letters we learned from library too.

1 lollipop danger, lollipop addict, lollipop alerts, diabetic hazard, children dental, lollipop sweet, children sweet, diabetic alerts, [pinwheel sucker]

2 library (b,a,y)

3 howls, night, cries, lunar, horny, wolves, lupus, [alpha]

4 soil, gold, pass, seed, fall, grow, [line]

5 sharks, diving, horror, ghosts, undead, [dorsal]

6 bloodletting, commemorated, kings, hemophiliacs, Papaveraceae

Now, on to my next guesses.

1) diabetic sweets
2) library (I like putting this here. It means every guess is 1/6 right)
3) I like alpha, but I feel like if I don't guess anything I waste the guess, so feral
4) sand? Super doubtful but might as well guess something
5) oddity (because it's really weird looking, I guess? Not getting many new ideas here)


I'm wasting a guess on 6, which given how many wild guesses I threw up here seems hypocritical, but I absolutely can't think of any 12 letter words to fit into that pic

Again, only number 2 is correct. (I underlined the guesses for easier visualization)

[sciencegal]

The "ghost shark" does have a dorsal fin, but I think that image was confusing as to if it was the dorsal or pectoral fin on top.

I attached a different angle of the fish just because I like it.

Here's a hint for everyone, notice the quotation marks
