Shouldn’t be needed for this
This chain is for fun


Tone it down a notch, ok? This is mean to be fun, friendly and inclusive, not a competition of who can leave the most difficult starter line. Some headscratchers every now and then is ok, but lately it’s been more of the puzzles than just flowing haikus. Let’s keepp it simple enough for non-English speakers to participate.

"This chain is for fun!"
Said the old chaindancers' head,
As the others sang.

Spoiler: show

a) This references the chain-dancing which is a folk tradition from the Faroe Islands.

So, do you remember me?
Yes, Reynir, I do


JoB you are correct, in the middle one you can do as you please. And in any case, it’s not like I was trying to ban tricky ones altogether, just keep them to a bearable proportion, ok?
