New -threads today (game #525) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #525, is …
- Luau
- Blowout
- Shindig
- Hoedown
- Jamboree
- Wingding
- Spangram: Parties
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 tip
A difficult game today thanks to some unusual words and interesting twists.
I took a tip of getting started, after finding half a dozen non-playing words without hitting anything that can be related to a “rip-roaring good time”.
The tip gave me Luau, which is a good thing as this would have been the last thing I would have seen among these old -fashioned descriptions of a knee up.
I think it is talking about our appetite for pleasure that there are so many different words for parties – I had never heard of Wingding before, but I’m sure a murder punch and a game that will involve anyone hiding in a closet will be involved.
