Correct end results, but it's

ERI (IRE) + ADO + R

and E(lizabeth) R(egina) (as seen on most of the UK's post boxes) + STORE.

No and no.

Or rather:

Sort of and sort of.

No Nienor in FOTR, of course.

But nice thinking.

It was uncanny how Vanimelde fit perfectly at one point. I'd certainly never thought of it for the password, and was surprised by it as a guess for that.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 03:39 AM

There is no female with an initial U in FOTR either.

Oooooohhhhhhh yes there is.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 04:49 AM

Then find one here.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 04:51 AM

Unless you mean Undomiel, but there is Vanimelda already.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 04:59 AM

Also, can't find L either, and googling 'give the right of way song lyrics' yields nothing either.

So? Vanimelda is a particular address used by Aragorn in Lorien. It's something that happens/a word that is used in Volume 3.

Undomiel is correct, but work out the elements. Then I'll put it in.

Undomiel refers to the scene where Frodo sees her for the first time, under a canopy at the feast.

As for L, reread and rethink the clue.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 07:28 AM

One of the quartet implies one of the hobbits.....

Pervinca Took · 03-17-2020, 07:34 AM

Not one of the hobbits. The answer is in a song.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 07:35 AM

How stupid I was.

Undomiel = LOUD+MINE

A real-life one or a Tolkien one?

Pervinca Took · 03-17-2020, 08:54 AM

A Tolkien one. And my words are a paraphrase, which is why a Google Search wouldn't find them.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 09:09 AM

"Tree and flower and leaf and grass

3. Leaf?

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 10:46 AM

I only found Troels Skovgaard

Pervinca Took · 03-17-2020, 11:21 AM

Troels is a Danish name, but you don't have to look for any particular Troels.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 12:10 PM

Assuming that O isn't the first letter, Bob?

Pervinca Took · 03-17-2020, 01:15 PM

O is the first letter.

It's a bit like the LEAF clue.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 01:40 PM

Ostler (anagram of TROELS and caretaker of horses). From the 'Man in the Moon' song.

Urwen · 03-17-2020, 03:06 PM

Is the N one a person or a thing or a language or something? It isn't specified....

Pervinca Took · 03-17-2020, 04:08 PM

It is. Or at least, it's hinted.

Ask yourself why there seem to be two anagram indicators.
