The following clues form a word chain. The last three letters of one word form the first three letters of the next word, and the list wraps round from the last word to the first. Mostly straightforward, but there may be some hyphenated or two word answers in there, and a couple that might need the Stitchionary. Plenty there, so feel free to grab a couple smile

-2. English river
-3. Indian Ocean Islands
-4. Conan Doyle character
-5. Having a nasal voice quality
-6. Spiritual leader

To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Great finish - about 4 and a half hours! praise

Thanks Bob, but I was using the alternative spelling:

"lis·some [lis-uhm] Show IPA


adjective

1.

lithesome or lithe, especially of body; supple; flexible.


2.

agile, nimble, or active.


Also, lis·som."
