New -threads today (game #416) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #416, is …
- PEACH
- Larva
- Chenille
- Duckling
- Slippers
- Spanggram: Become unclear
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 tip
The first word I got (Peach) made me think we were looking for soft fruits, but my search for apricots and berries proved, ERM, fruitless. Then I got caterpillar and I was completely confused.
I saw the word caterpillar in step – first cat, then take into account, then the full word designated.
In the dark of the theme, I used a tip to move forward – ahh, just soft fuzzy stuff, then. I’m still not sure how larvae fit in, but I like these vague, random strict themes.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
