New -threads today (game #452) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #452, is …
- BUTTERFLY
- MOTH
- WASP
- FLEA
- HORNET
- JEWELER
- Spangam: Insect
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
After getting butterfly, mill and wasps in order, I thought we were looking for a tension that describes flying miniasters. Instead it was much more straightforward insect
A six-letter tip is very off-fire for threads these days, but this game’s ability to keep players guessing is impressive. That said, this was one of our easier days.
I know a lot of people like them, but the sight of a dragonfly freaks me out a bit as I have an irrational fear that they will fly in my mouth. So when I see one, I squeeze my mouth closed. I assume I’m freak, not them.
That said, they breathe out of their rectum, so there is. I don’t want anything that inhales its rectum in my mouth please.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
