Since this answer was made up of three different words, this clue could be taken in multiple different ways, especially because all of the other answers were made with one word. As a result, you’d probably try to answer this clue with a single word as well, making it almost impossible to guess. For this reason, I’ll give this clue a difficulty rating of five out of five.
