- SPONGE
- LAVA
- Bundle
- FRUIT
- POUND
- EAST
- FUNNEL
- Spangram: piece of cake
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
In the early days of the internet, my favorite website was a collection of user -submitted half -baked ideas. The kind of thing that seems reasonable when you first think of them, but then fall apart by further inspection.
The one I can remember was to fill the speed of vanilla sauce – to still act as a deterrence, but also protect the suspension of vehicles. Me and my useless car would love it.
Either way, I take af-we did not look for half-baked ideas, but half-baked cakes today. Not that I had previously considered that a cake is half baked.
I wouldn’t say this search was a piece of cake, but it was pretty close. Bundle was a new one on me and something that kept me busy for a while, and funnel is something I thought you found on a ferry rather than in an oven.
