New -threads today (game #536) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #536, is …
- Hulk
- Wolverine
- STORM
- Daredevil
- THING
- Rogue
- Spanggram: Superheroes
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I first discovered the excitement of superheroes before I went looking for characters from the Marvel universe -a nice touch to make the letters shape an S shape.
I have trouble remembering who is part of the DC family and who is wonder (excuses) and the one I was sure of-spider-man-was not part of the search (possibly because of the annoying hyphen).
I don’t have to have worried myself as you didn’t have to have any cartoon knowledge to complete today’s search; None of the words were particularly difficult to loosen and required some expertise.
That said, I got the two most famous first in Hulk and Wolverine before moving on to the lower level of superherodom.
