New -threads today (game #402) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #402, is …
- WATERMELON
- Ruccola
- Avocado
- CAULIFLOWER
- Spanggram: Four syllables
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
A lovely, relaxed version of beachs with a mighty long spardel hose that eats a good part of the puzzle.
The hardest finding for me was Arugula, which I know in England as a rocket.
Arugula is together with two other plants with four syllables – pomegranate and radicchio – something I’ve never finished. I like all three, but I can also live very easily without them. Avocado, on the other hand, I can’t live without.
All this reminds me of the brilliant sketch in Portlandia (Turn it up on YouTube if you haven’t seen it) starring Steve Buscemi as the bad marketing man in charge of making celery become viral.
In a 2025 sequel to Buscemi’s poor connection to the eerie bacon guy, I imagine he is doing something to get celery in a thread puzzle, only to be averted by a suddenly imposed four-syllable rule.
