maybe not too difficult. The idea is to give 3 'clues' (usually one word clues, maybe 2 word clues can be allowed) The clues have in common a single word OR words that sound the same. I will try to give an example or 2, then a tri-bond. These are tricky to create and tricky to solve. I guess, the person that solves the tri-bond gets to present the new one. OK? (it may come up that more than one word will 'fit' , but the puzzle presenter must get the 'intended' word answer OK?)
example - gold, table, tree (answer = leaf )
example - Holy, ocean, observe (answer = see, sea sound the same!)
I'll start;
Kitchen
tectonic

Tri Bond, new game - difficult
plate?

Judy, I don't know if we got it right or not. If we did,

Birdlady, is it "for"?
You got it Judy...
Took me a while to understand what this game is!
Tomato- the 3 seemingly unrelated words all can be translated into 3 other words that *sound* the same, but have completely different meanings.
Praise, preys, prays... they all sound the same, but you have to decipher that from the 3 clue words...

Sorry folks, it's bedtime for me. Just skip over this one if you don't want to wait.
