New -threads today (game #508) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #508, are …
- GROWL
- Snarl
- HISS
- Huff
- Cry
- Stomp
- RATTLE
- Spray
- Spanggram: Warning
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Taking advantage of warnings instead of warning was my only mistake in this elementary word search.
With Growl and Snarl, who was lurking in the top corners, there wasn’t much hunt to do today, and there wasn’t much for animal noise experts to become discerning about.
That said, Huff sounds more like something that a grumpy toddler can do rather than an animal.
I expected to find “roar” among the words we were looking for, but aside I think they covered all the bases-inclusive the one who has the longest effect for anyone who has ever had on the wrong side of a skunk.
