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 -1. Heavy work tool -2. English river -3. Indian Ocean Islands -4. Conan Doyle character -5. Having a nasal voice quality -6. Spiritual leader -7. Red-flowered house-plant -8. Supple, flexoble -9. Gymnastic movement -10. Beyond human hearing -11. Silvery-white transition metal -12. S.I. base unit of temperature -13. Capable of being defeated -14. To make lighter -15. Billy Ray Cyrus hit -16. Skilled craftsman -17. Whitish, saline scum formed on the surface of molten glass -18. Spoken -19. Material used to give stability -20. Astronomical instrument -21. To assist, encourage -22. Engagement -23. Indication of genuineness -24. U.S. state -25. Aromatic deciduous lauraceous tree -26. Mystical adviser in the court of Czar Nicholas II -27. Hearing defect -28. Vigorous or determined struggle

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! 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."
