Oh dear, that's a high bar. I'm afraid this doesn't even come close to clearing it.

Seven letters, seven letters. What word beginning with M could possibly have seven letters?

Nope. I did say no anagrams.

6 is a very hard one. Is Lobelia Spanish for spoons or something?

Exactly right. ^_^ And using the last letter (all others are first letters from now on).
I'm... not even sure what name you were trying to spell out here, but it's wrong. Nope! Nope. Quote:
1. "I turn... into my gold!" the son declared. 2. I am the king, I am angry, I AR-PHARAZON - "We are fair as one!" he said; find the end of his title. IDRIL - Identify a neverending stream for the princess. 5. No way you'll hear the bearer in here. 6. In (very) bad Spanish, her name is what she has.

SHE HAS EL WINGS, SI??? FLAPPY LA FLAPPY???
(To be clear this is a commentary on English people in Spain, not on the Spanish who I'm sure know their own language better than that.) He am wroth. 1. "I turn... into my gold!" the son declared. AMROTH - I am the king, I am angry, I AR-PHARAZON - "We are fair as one!" he said; find the end of his title. IDRIL - Identify a neverending stream for the princess. 5. No way you'll hear the bearer in here. ELWING - In (very) bad Spanish, her name is what she has. ELESSAR "Eee, not greater," the restorer said, turning tail. Two (and the password) to go. hS |

Hmmn. I think the password might be MARINER, in which case the known answers could be connected thus-
??? AMROTH- this one is tenuous. Amroth set foot on a ship, at least, though he didn't exactly voyage far... AR-PHARAZÔN- descendant of Eärendil, the Mariner; had a fleet. IDRIL- mother of Eärendil. ELWING- wife of Eärendil. ??? ELESSAR- jewel worn by Eärendil; title of Aragorn II, another descendant. Edit: ninja'd by Urwen!

It is!
1. M - "I turn... into my gold!" the son declared. AMROTH - I am the king, I am angry, I AR-PHARAZON - "We are fair as one!" he said; find the end of his title. IDRIL - Identify a neverending stream for the princess. 5. N - No way you'll hear the bearer in here. ELWING - In (very) bad Spanish, her name is what she has. ELESSAR "Eee, not greater," the restorer said, turning tail. Quote:
Are you just guessing sailors now? None of those. In 1, you need to find two words that would fit into the ellipsis. In 5, you're looking for someone really known for their boat connection, but by an uncommon name of theirs. Spotting the straight clue might also help. And both of them begin with their password letter. hS |

How about turning iron into gold, in which case, the answer is Mae+Iron = Mairon, who traveled via boat with good old Phary.

So it's just "made voyages"? I'm still doubtful about the applicability to unwilling sailors who throw themselves overboard, but it's your call.
![]() Is #5 NOWË (a name of Círdan)?
