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 able 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 pancakes 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.

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."
/Emphasis on the Fs, if I could sneak that past JRJ

A few summers ago, I had the delusion that I would be good at the show since I was doing well with the screen covered at home and was giving decent clues. I bought the box board game and it confirmed the fact that I shouldn't try out for the show. There was a lot of social media content and I'm not into that stuff and 30 seconds goes really fast. Add to the fact that my dad tried out in the 1970's, made it past the first round of try outs, is way smarter than I am and didn't get chosen...yes, all those are good clues for the winners circle category of "Reasons why I shouldn't try out for pyramid".
