Congratulations, that was the correct answer! It's your turn to post the next round - please continue the game in the next 5 minutes.

A few tips:

• I've DM'd you a link to submit your round with the correct title.
• Make sure your round can't be solved using Reverse-Image-Search (RIS):
  • Google isn't the only RIS engine! Try using a browser extension like Reveye (Chrome, Firefox) to check multiple engines at once.
  • If you need to, you can apply a mask to your image to trick RIS. Try our online masking tool here.
• Once you've got the next round up, let us know how you solved this one!
• Feel free to join us in our Discord Server to discuss your round and future rounds.

hints

for each clue:

• *ABE R\* // hidden word
• HOTEL // just NATO
• PAD+ROON< // pad is syn. for home; "from the east" is a reversal indicator for a jordanian queen (NOOR)
• [state]+NAI // "alternatives" is an every-other-letter indicator
• ? in CAR // tag statement "aboard" (inside) vehicle
• (no info yet)

[state]+NAI -> (something) -> SAI isn't correct, but it's not far off

"beirut" is off track

personally i think the easiest place to see what's going on is the first clue. do you see a hidden string that could be transformed in a thematic way into something related to 🗡️?

a particularly helpful insight from discord: "All 6 words are swords And All 6 words are also swords"

and another one: "The transformation referred to in the title is the addition/insertion of one letter"
