New -threads today (game #446) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #446, is …
- Fava
- KIDNEY
- BLACK
- GREEN
- FLEET
- Cannellini
- Spangram: Bean Salad
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The biggest challenge today was to find out how to spell cannellini. Apart from that, this was one of the fastest games of strings I’ve ever played – maybe because I eat so many beans.
I immediately knew what we were looking for from the theme “The Musical Fruit”, which, yes, beans have a reputation for getting people to perform a few bum notes. The way to avoid this is to use dry beans that are soaked overnight in a pinch of salt, but it is quite a palaver if you are just a casual bean saltatchomper.
With regard to the argument about classification of prayers, the answer is that technically, beans are a type of fruit, specifically a legume. However, they are often categorized as vegetables and you are unlikely to find them hanging with bananas.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
