Clues that helped The Masked Singer judges to guess the face behind Sherlock Hound
The verbal clue that helped the panelists find the answer to the face behind Sherlock Hound was,
"As a young Hollywood starlet, that Miley was known for being free-spirited and fun, just like this old dog. See, when I was younger, I ran wild, crazy, and free, always gunning for a challenge. That's when I found myself in the bullpen facing my biggest case yet, to break an almost century-long curse. Many men had come before me and failed, but with my drive, I knew I could get us out of this jam. We were between a rock and a hard place, but I didn't roll over. And with my band behind me, a singlehandling broke the curse, claiming our spot in history. And while I went on to reinvent myself after that, just like Miley, I never forgot those glory days when I was fun, wild, and young."
The physical clues included sugar cubes, sweet tea, a stuffed bull eye patch, a diamond, a red guitar, a t-shirt that read "Who Are You Fest," long hair, and a red slide. All these clues together made it easy for some of the judges to find the answer.
