New -threads today (game #583) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #583, are …
- Chinchilla
- SKUNK
- Gecko
- Axolotl
- PARROT
- Python
- Spanggram: exotic pet
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
An interesting start for me today: After discovering non-play words chin and chill, I decided to put together both of them and came to the perfect opening.
I’ve never owned an exotic pet, but I’ve had several unusual cats – currently someone who thinks he’s a dog, former one who slept in the bathroom washing – and I’ve often wondered if it’s me who makes them eccentric. But if I took the plunge, I would love an Axolotl, especially since I now know how to spell it.
A difficult game, but a fun.
Yesterday’s new strings answer (Monday 6th October, Games #582)
- Clothes
- Pajamas
- Night dresses
- Joggers
- Longjohns
