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 like the bat and desk guesses. At least you could use them 🤣
the only thing made of wood i could think of was vito Corleone’s desk.
I have never seen the movie and I vaguely remember the news article from last year when it happened, but it escaped me this morning. All I could think of was the baseball bat from “The Natural”. 1/3 correct responses.
I’ll say 2/3, perhaps my favorite movie
On the one hand, this is a favorite clue. On the other, contestants are getting farther and farther away from old stuff. Anyway, I recalled seeing headlines about this after the time was up.
I’ll say ONE right.
