starts with something that means land but omit the double letter and make it rhyme with the ta5 card deck.

3:46 pm

MollyL

te9 has the robot ending

3:46 pm

MollyL

Sorry te8

3:47 pm

MollyL

I don't get the card deck part of the clue

3:47 pm

MollyL

And only omit one of the double letters

3:47 pm

gemini_J13

the cards that tell your future

3:48 pm

MollyL

I know the cards, how does that word rhyme with them

3:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

found the te8, your clues were confusing but i got it, tx

4:51 pm

MollyL

Are you not familiar with the robot ending?

4:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

actually is was the "land" clue that caused flummoxation

4:54 pm

MollyL

It was referring to the word before firma. But when I see omit the double letter, I think take out both of them.
