New Strands Today (Game #480) – The answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #480, are …
- TURKEY
- Quail
- GOOSE
- Partridge
- Gipe
- Pheasant
- Spang: Game Birds
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
“Fowl Business” immediately made me search for the letter K when I was convinced that our search would include chicken. Instead, we were looking for more advanced gaming birds than the common jungle fowl.
The K search led me to Turkey, which set me on my way to an easy walk around the grid as I asked myself the questions: How many of these birds have I eaten (1).
Pheasant was the only word that slowed me down when I saw “birds” before I saw the accompanying “game”.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
