New -threads today (game #521) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #521, is …
- GUITAR
- BOOK
- Sunflowers
- FRUIT
- JEWELRY
- Pitcher
- Spanggram: Still Life
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 tip
It’s funny how you sometimes see part of a word, but not all, but I had three examples of this today.
At first I discovered the non-play word “Jewel”, but completely missed out of jewelry, then “pitch” before I saw pitcher and “flowers” in front of sunflowers. I am ashamed of admitting that I needed a tip to see it!
My crown performance, however, was to see books, but not book. Don’t quite know how I succeeded!
Either way, a lovely search today, and I’m sure some of you know many famous paintings that still contain these life stops. I know Picasso was possessed by guitar and van Gogh will always be associated with sunflowers. The rest, I’m not sure. There may be a painting that contains them all.
