   Hint: Both a machine and a dairy product move this substance.

   Reveal round 2 answer

   liquid

3. Round 3 · carbon + river

   Hint: An environmental problem produced in the air and carried downstream.

   Reveal round 3 answer

4. Round 4 · pipe + pit + spider

   Hint: Name the legless reptile that hides in one clue, lends its name to a drain tool, and rivals the other crawler.

   Reveal round 4 answer

   Hint: Both belong to the vocabulary of measuring length.

   Reveal round 5 answer

   Diameter is the measurement across a circle, usually quoted in inches; the single clue asks for the measuring term most associated with the unit. A six-inch diameter is a typical everyday example.
