Anyone still able to send me a hint?

If you love something, set it free. If it flies around and chirps, it was probably a bird.

Well you don't have to

draw LOTS of lines

Just

seven of them.

The kids were right: the floor IS lava. But they were wrong about the fire-resistant properties of sofa pillows.

I should rephrase: I have tried seven lines in various configurations.

I have looked at this for more hours than is healthy. I think I should be

SPOILER: Click to show

drawing lines between flags with the same numbers

. But I'm having trouble making a word out of the drawings, and some of the letters I come up with seem to be a stretch. Can anyone confirm if I'm doing this correctly or if I missed something? Any help is greatly appreciated!

You might want to start

thinking outside the box for this one.

And, in case that very gentle nudge doesn't help:

It's less about connecting and more about

drawing.

I spent at least four nights staying up until 3AM trying to solve this one.

Good luck! More hints are always available if those nudges don't help.

Thank you for the nudges! I'll give it a go with these in mind and see how far I get. :-)

Instead of sorting by direction, use the numbers to sort and the directions as... directions.
