Have just been locked out but thanks to domroberts, I know how to do it:

Clue: the method is used on another card but not with text. Where you would have got a cat you will now get something different

I can only think of one thing to do with dots, that you do with writing. Am I right in thinking that it begins with..

OK, so now we know this is a dot-to-dot... Thanks! But, how do we know in which order to connect them? These dots aren't numbered like card 68.

I'm playing with a scan of just the filled-in words, and connecting the i's (in MSPaint). But I'm not seeing anything recognizable. Going with the Sherlock theme, is it maybe supposed to be a PIPE? I don't have this card, so can't check.
Confused

Hunting, want to share the picture? I just wrote out the words by tracing over the card.

Mine looks like a deflated balloon.

Oh, I think I see where this is going, although I still don't have an answer.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Where card #68 was text that connected the dots, will this one have the dots connect into text? Meaning, it won't be an actual picture (like 68 ), but will look kinda like cursive writing?

I'll play with it more, later... Razz

Sammy, LOL! Mine actually looked like that, too. But I was trying to make more sense of it! Laughing
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Now I'm wondering if we connect dots within each line, and zig-zag down the list, instead of doing one side then the other... would it look like cursive writing?

I took out he words outside because I'm assuming the inside is what counts.
Just realised you can't spoiler images.

That's pretty much what mine looked like (including the missing line... LOL), so I don't know what to make of it. Unless we're supposed to do it the other way, like I mentioned above... ?

That's a relief (and that wasn't a clue). You're image is of the right nature, ie you don't have to criss cross things. However I'd recommend you do it again. Don't rely on the words as very helpfully printed in one of the early posts, but write out the missing bits yourself. Your image still won't be obvious, but it is the object that it most looks like, ie go with the most obvious answer, which as far as I can tell doesn't really have any connection with the title.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Copy the card (the location/relation of the words is important so you can't just write it out on paper). Fill in the words with i's so they reasonably fill the blanks. Connect the dots to make a picture of something. Any left over words with t's? Fill them in too. Connect them.

I'm still not getting it to resemble anything really.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
pipe looks possible, but I can't make it out to be a pipe really.


Which is isn't. I've got 5 sheets of paper and every one of them just looks like a random shape to me.
