Round six is finished. /dev/joe and Slakko have both submitted a valid link word (both different) and so both gain two points. The
scores are now:

Slakko: 6
/dev/joe: 5
Hubert: 7

Slakko is now the linker and must link from  step.

TGW.

This is too easy:  two. two-step is a dance and two of something is a pair.

I link with "dance."  A "dance step" is obvious, and dancing, at least
ballroom dancing, is usually done in pairs.

Maybe I should listen to Slakko, but instead I'm voting for #5.
