OK, this will be like nothing we have seen on the boards so far!! This puzzle will be about changing my beginning phrase into ONE letter. Questions about what my letters are are not allowed. You can ask like "Is the item in your next transformation used for..." There are 3 letters. Your first letter clue is... T-Funny Using thesauruses and dictionaries would be helpful | ||

lol ok heres my next guess - T-Funny = T-Bone = Steak, not sure where to go to get the letter, so I guess I'll just try S for Steak? | ||

I had two ideas: Is the word maybe something that separates the T-and the Funny? Maybe "hat"? As in That Funny? I also thought of T-Bone, like damia, but to change it into a three letter word, I thought of the word "bon" which means "good". So T-Funny=bon? | ||

lol ok heres my next guess - T-Funny = T-Bone = Steak,This is correct, but you missed something between T funny and T bone not sure where to go to get the letter, so I guess I'll just try S for Steak?No I had two ideas: Is the word maybe something that separates the T-and the Funny? No Maybe "hat"? As in That Funny?No I also thought of T-Bone, like damia, but to change it into a three letter word, I thought of the word "bon" which means "good". So T-Funny=bon?No Damia, you COULD go on, but its more fun to get my change between T-Funny and T-bone. Thesaures | ||

so, we are thinking of "funny bone"--humerus? I searched for humerus on three online thesauri, and none of them came up with results for this word. I'm a little confused with the phrase "there are three letters"...are we talking about finding a word that has three letters, or are we getting to the 1 letter in three steps? Sorry, I read pretty literally sometimes : ) | ||

wait a minute, and this might be way off, but--maybe the word "rib" you can have a bone like a rib in a t-bone steak, I guess and something funny can be a "rib tickler" | ||

something between t-funny and t-bone hmm, not sure there, obviously I got it by using funny bone as in your elbow, so maybe the letter is L (el)bow? thesaurus.com doesn't like any combination of t-funny t-bone or funny bone *sigh* or is it something to do with the actual bones in your arm? funny bone - humerus? ulna? | ||

Sorry, I read pretty literally sometimes : )I am giving one letter at a time wait a minute, and this might be way off, but--maybe the word "rib" This would work too :-) you can have a bone like a rib in a t-bone steak, I guess and something funny can be a "rib tickler"This could've been a second alternative something between t-funny and t-bone hmm, not sure there, obviously I got it by using funny bone as in your elbow, so maybe the letter is L (el)bow? thesaurus.com doesn't like any combination of t-funny t-bone or funny bone *sigh* or is it something to do with the actual bones in your arm? funny bone - humerus? ulna?Read above | ||

I thought about writing humorous, too, but I didn't. drat! Since we are thinking 1 letter at a time...Are we picking the first letter of the word humerus/humorous--"h", perhaps? | ||

I'm confused - so now we have humorous and stake - are both of these connected to something else? is your item used as a tool? is it smaller than a computer? smaller than a book? is it electronic? does it have batteries? is amde of wood? metal? stone? plastic? glass? rubber? | ||

I was thinking of golf tees because they are used as a sort of stake and are smaller than a fork, but most tees are wood...maybe a plastic golf tee? would this item be used for something--food? sports? needlework? | ||

3C's and Lord of the Rings. That's not helping me out at all... c's: sees? seize? something that three characters saw? (The inscription on the ring? (Gandalf, Frodo, presumably Sauron?)) held? The ring itself? (Bilbo, Frodo, Gollum?) <ummgluff> | ||

Huh. Don't remember that at all. But onesies and twosies are apparently midday snacks, which calls to mind the other famous midday snack, Winnie the Pooh's "elevenses." Which in OIC-notation would be LFNSS. So: L? F? N? S? | ||
