Tel GK/Herculis Links Game : December Week 2
104 Answers
Yes it's already week 2 of the December links game, where it is hoped (and expected) that entries will achieve higher scores than those notched up in week 1, when the recondite pairing "Journal Bearing" had us thinking that perhaps Michael Mepham was having a mischievous chuckle at our expense! �. Surely not, but can we be certain??
Top scorers last week were "brizzer", "Phil7" and "twosearch" with two correct hits each; they were joined on two points by "crofter", "gen2" and "yelsel" who all scored bonus points for being the first entrants to submit correct guesses on one of the pairings.
For newcomers to our weekly addiction, (and they are most welcome), the object of the game is to predict Monday's Herculis link words (from The Daily Telegraph) with Saturday's link words which will be given at the end of this thread.
Rules of the game and details of how points are awarded are fully explained in the riddles section and can be reached by clicking on the link below.
As usual, our resident statistician "crofter" will slave tirelessly away in his counting house once Monday's link words are known, to determine who the high flyers are and then provide his expert analysis!
Saturday's link words need to be posted on this thread before entries can be accepted, so if any early riser has them available before I return from the newsagents with my paper, I would be grateful if they could be posted below.
Thanks and good luck to you all (S). ☺♫♫☺

This is the beginning of Day 2 and what a range of guesses so far! POINCIANA starts us off with no fewer than THREE new lines of thought - proving that you don't necessarily have to get in early to be novel.
Sometimes it's just a question of choosing a previous four and coming up wtih the right combination!
I expect another 20+ entrants today all seeking to become an AB LEGEND as the one who cracked the Herculis Code!
