New -threads today (game #524) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #524, is …
- Plugs
- Spatula
- Mixer
- Zester
- Aim
- Whip
- Spanggram: Kitchen tool
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The first thing I did today was to search for the word “kitchen” as it seemed obvious that it was what “gastronomic gadgets” referred to.
I found it fast enough, but it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be and it took me a while to see the kitchen tool. When I thought we were looking for a majority theme, I even had kitchen tools in front of the right tension gram.
In addition to this, the rest of the words were hidden in plain sight, but I especially enjoyed cork screw that revealed itself cork screw style.
