If you can't get the clip of the episode I can let you know what the signs they are holding say, hankir.

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.
I did find the clip.
All done.

I finished the Speccie and got all unclueds. I have no idea how they represent the chain.

[ProfessorMaisie]

It's a word chain where each word links to the next eg 'gold' + 'fish'+ 'eye' + 'shadow' + 'boxing'... etc etc (but it's much more devious than my example - there are lots of possible connections).

[ProfessorMaisie]

(Happy to give you a start if you need it, hankir}

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.

I had some inkling. With Ring Finger and Key board etc.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Put 'key' in front of your first one ('board' is the end of the chain, of course, and you need a couple more after 'finger' before you get to that word).

[hankir]

Got it. ProfessorM.
