Well, looking over the defs, I see the word "MALLOW". Never saw that word before, I would have dealt that!

For my choices, I will take the obvious one...

6. The illegal market for rhinoceros horns (which can't be it...too easy)

Just for kicks....

3. A wart on the nose...

John,

No problem....if you meant MARSHMALLOW, then I have no problem with that.....

You said 'MALLOW" and I had no idea that word was a diminutive of MARSHMALLOW.

Maybe I should deal DIMINUITIVE when I get a chance?

I guess that the botanist in me would always read marshmallow as "mallow,
marsh" and after ticking that box then go looking for "greater", "lesser",
"field" and then colours (mauve obviously for "malva" is the origin of the
word mauve) but then pinks and reds etc (probably including all sorts of
latin terms like parviflora, grandiflora, hastata, etc) and so discover
that hollyhocks, hibiscus etc are related and also okra and durian and ...
that something here is the national flower of Korea (Hibiscus syriacus)
....and...on the way discovering food uses (and the incomparable mississippi
mud pie)

--that kind of trail of discovery would give me a day's pleasure

(actually, in this case I grew up with marshmallow as the name of two
different common plants, (malva sylvestris and malva moschata) but the
hibiscus, okra and durian links have been later essays of discovery; also I
delight in growing 10ft high bright red single hollyhocks)

JimZ-- this game has a MUCH larger common vocabulary than the MPGames one.* I've been called a "walking dictionary" by my friends, and I'm not the one with the largest vocabulary here by far!!
*
JohnnyB has an especially large vocabulary in biology stuff as well as British English.* He's a lot of fun to have here!
