Five rounds, one hint at a time

1. Round 1 · powder + pan

   Hint: The kitchen staple you grind into the first clue's texture and cook in the second.

   Reveal round 1 answer

   flour

   Flour is the baking link: grain is milled into a powder, and the pan is where flour cooks into bread. One clue is its texture, the other its tool.

2. Round 2 · paper + staff

   Hint: The newsroom word that names both a page and a team.

   Reveal round 2 answer

   editorial

   Editorial is the newsroom's voice: editorials run on paper pages, and the editorial staff writes them. One clue is the medium, the other the people.

3. Round 3 · membership + entrance

   Hint: A word for being let in: to a club or through a door.

   Reveal round 3 answer

   admission

   Admission is the granting of entry: memberships admit their members, and admission is what you gain at an entrance. One clue is the standing, the other the doorway.

4. Round 4 · dad + operator + office

   Hint: The person each clue answers to — at home, on the line and down the hall.

   Reveal round 4 answer

   boss

   A boss is the person in charge: a dad runs the household, an operator takes calls for the boss, and the corner office is the boss's room. The links run through authority at different scales.

5. Round 5 · cave

   Hint: The animal's snug word for the same kind of shelter.

   Reveal round 5 answer

   den

   A den is the homely cave: caves shelter wild animals, and a den is the snug word for their home — also the room where humans retreat. The single clue asks for the cozier burrow.
