are basically locks, as is Paste for makeup.

Will check the rest tomorrow.

What is an aubergine again? It's some sort of fruit I want to say?

So four of the aubergine words are also elementary words. And Paste is the one that isn't.

This is going to be a puzzle. But for tomorrow. 😀

Bell pepper obv

It’s eggplant

Agreed with all that’s been said so far of course.

I’d say ball for eggplant shape should be good

Lol this turn

Is it possible cone works for the same reason?

Wait, England.

Aubergine is the *English* word for eggplant.

Yes! I agree! :p

If we want to do

Squash
Greenhouse
England
Paste
Ball

and then see, I'm fine with that.

I guess eggplant has a smell, but is it strong enough to say it here?

Indeed

It’s an 8-clue. Doesn’t have to be that strong imo.

So what was elementary?

Elementary school:
Paste
Ball

Sherlock Holmes:
England
Story

Then Aubergine-only words:
Greenhouse
Smell
Squash
Cone

And we just need one more aubergine/elementary word.
