The answers to today’s threads, game #559, is …
- Expectations
- Monkeys
- Plains
- Lakes
- Aunts
- Mind
- Spanggram: they are big
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I know it’s impossible in the beach format, but the lack of apostrophe in they are big are all kinds of wrong and not big at all.
After finding expectations early – thanks to x – and monkeys (thanks to it in a corner), I was aware that we were looking for “big” things.
However, there were a few surprises among the elections; Aunts made the clip and plains too – but where was the UK?
I’m sure owners of big Danes are similarly peeed!
