8. cream, poi, curd ?

Gail, I hope you're right. I dismissed that set.

Gail, almost. Change the last letter of the 2nd word to get a word that fits the
category of the other two.

Cue, I thought you were unstumpable.

Consider me stumped! If Gail doesn't get it I'll have to come back to it.

3. sink, tire, wilt

8. I'm stumped too. Is it pog?

Gail, think cooking utensil.

Oh my, Cue, that's an excellent alternative to mine for #3, and one I never
thought of. I'm taking it.! and bonus points!

In case you're curious, I had ring, tape, silk (worms).

8. is it pot? Can't figure what it's got to do with cream and curd except to cook it in.?

Gail, it is indeed pot. They're all types of cheese.
