I couldn't stop thinking of sloth for "slow animal." Could you give a better hint, like maybe "slow-moving gastropod?"

:D I also thought of sloth first. "Snail" came to my mind shortly afterwards. But if I read such clue as yours, I'll most probably give up on trying to figure it out.

I gave up. At first I thought I was spelling it wrong. Then I kept trying other variations. Slothe (Some British 'add an e' variation ), Sloths. (plural) etc.

No one spells sloth with an E on the end - it's not a British spelling at all.

Not to mention that all of those efforts clearly break the five letter rule, so wouldn't be valid anyway. It's not that hard to understand...

Fun quiz. "Made a mistake". A little ambiguous. Could be taken as a noun and therefore ERROR or a verb in which case ERRED. I tried error and then went in a completely different direction. I think both should be accepted. Both are five letters, both work. Either one could trigger ERRED. Good quiz.

How could "made a mistake" *possibly* be construed as a clue for a noun?? Maybe it could by someone who does not know what nouns and verbs are, but JetPunk is all about expanding our horizons and increasing our knowledge, not pandering to the lowest intellectual denominator. If someone gets "erred" wrong, they will learn something. If the completely wrong "error" is accepted, their grammatical deficiencies have no chance to improve.

If the answer is someone who made a mistake, it's quite possible to be a noun. It can't be a clue for "error" though, I agree about that.

If you make a mistake when typing numbers on a calculator, for example, you can get an ERROR. It's one way to understand the clue. There's no reason for it to be accepted here, but it's not about 'grammatical deficiencies'...

I'm going to agree with samiamco. If it was looking for "error" it would have just said "mistake" rather than "made a mistake." The word "made" is a clear indicator that it's looking for a verb, not a noun.

Knew all of these except I'd never heard of a "nonet" before... but... with the first and last letters and the clue that it's five letters long it wasn't difficult to deduce.

Yes it is. An aroma is pleasant, an odor not so. The confusion comes from people using the terms interchangeably, when they're not.

I dont' agree with the "Empty" clue. Empty means there is nothing in the vessel/item/etc. but "not full" could or could not be empty. This should be tweaked.

But "empty" is necessarily "not full", so the clue is correct.

isnt calling a dingo a dog like saying a wolf is a dog? Doesnt seem correct to me. I believe dog and dingo are both subspecies of the wolf and not dog=dingo or dingo is a breed of dog. (ow and I missed two, but they were the lower percentage, one of them I really didnt get the sentence, had no idea what how who or when theywere asking.)

I agreed with you until I looked it up. The first part of the definition of dingo was "wild or half-domesticated dog..." Every source I checked called them a wild dog. So, this old dog learned something new today. :)

Shell is the common name for an Anglo-Dutch company, so that question is not quite right. "Shell" was originally the British part of it in fact, the Dutch part used to be referred to as Koninklijke Olie (Royal Oil, try saying that fast in English). But now apparently the entity's name is Royal Dutch Shell PLC, with primary listing in London: even though the head office is in the Netherlands, you might just as well say it is a British company.
