Klaxo has me baffled

[minstrelofmoria]

I can think of thundercrack, thunderbolt, and thunderstrike, but I've never heard of a crackboard, a boltboard, or a strikeboard. Similarly, I've never heard of thunderon, thunderback, thundershuffle, thunderbed, or thundergame. Help!

Edit: the Cryptmaster just gave me the answer. Seriously? I thought I might have had something with thunderhead and headboard. And what even is a clapboard?

The island riddles are a bit obscure so we do plan on putting some more robust hints for them in the next update! A clapboard is the thing used to start scenes in a movie (wish I could post pictures!) and it's also a type of cladding on houses.

This will always be a problem with a word based game that is not localised.

While I have heard of a clapboard being used in movies, we do not call house cladding "clapboard" in Australia..... where it is known as "weatherboard".

Yeh I am Aussie too and that's what I know as weatherboard also :) Game is actually localized though, we have a Spanish version in options, but doing anything more than one language for launch was too cost prohibitive as you might imagine. I think the movie clapboard is still however a thing.
