Pyramid study guide?
« on: August 03, 2025, 10:31:59 AM »
Does there exist a "study guide" of sorts for Pyramid, specifically a list of definitive clues for various Winner's Circle categories? I'm considering making one.

What’s definitive for one person might slip by your partner. I recall Keith Williams wrote a treaty about General best principles about how best to attack the different rounds. If you’re looking for things to practice you may as well find some friends and practice both sides of the game to see what works. Are you able to quickly and simply apple to convey an idea? Can you change tactics if your partner can’t put together your first clue? Can you stack adjectives like so many pa cakes such that only one word is left in the mental calculus?

Personally I think that’s better than coming up with one to ones for the words that will show up in the top boxes.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

I was bored on an Amtrak earlier so I was thinking of clues for Things That Flicker and came up with "a poorly-tuned analog television set" and "a dying firefly."
