Clue of the Day
FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. You can hint at it if you want and it is okay to give possible wrong answers.
8-word Alert: Our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with 8 non-hint words is the best practice.

I’ll say 1/3. I think I must have seen the bit about the character’s name’s translation somewhere recently, because it felt incredibly familiar.
I’ll go with 1 correct answer. I couldn’t get the thought of Wicked out of my head…
Well, I dithered between 1 and 2 on this. It’s an easy one for folks who know the play or film. Will they remember the last name or translate it correctly?
If they don’t know the play, they wouldn’t know what language to translate it too.
I’ll give ’em the benefit of the doubt and try TWO anyhow.
