I’m having trouble with the “something conical in a chemistry lab crossword clue”. I thought of common lab equipment, but nothing seems to fit the letters I have. Has anyone solved this clue before? Any hints or suggestions would be invaluable without giving away the full answer.

An ERLENMEYER FLASK is the most probable answer for a crossword clue concerning a conical object in a chemistry lab, yet depending on the given letters, it might also be a FUNNEL or perhaps even CHEM if it is a short one, but the best options regarding shape are still FLASK or FUNNEL.

Such a hint normally leads to an Erlenmeyer flask, a common conical lab flask that was identified by its slender neck and flat bottom.
