- Connector: Things with shells
- Clues: Turtles · Turtle Eggs · Nuts · Coconuts · Clams
- Difficulty: Moderate (3/5)
- Fast strategy: That single word completely derailed my train of thought. A nut is a plant seed, not an animal egg. I briefly considered a stretch, like 'Things found in nature,' but that felt far too broad. When 'Coconuts' and 'Clams' followed, it confirmed my initial theory was dead wrong. I needed to find something that linked a reptile, its egg, a plant seed, a fruit, and a mollusk. I started thinking about their properties. What do all of these items physically possess? The answer clicked: they are all encased in a hard, protective outer layer.
