Anyone else try 'fluffy' for sheeps wool or is that just me

Level 20

Aug 14, 2012

i tried fluffy too

Level 70

Aug 15, 2012

I tried just fluff. >.< Didn't get that you were supposed to guess the name of a fabric.

Level 74

Nov 7, 2013

A sheep's wool is called a fleece (as in the Golden Fleece), it's not just the name of a fabric (which is usually made of man-made fibres anyway).

Level 88

Feb 25, 2019

^^Spun polyester should never legally be allowed to be called fleece. Like so many other products, the sheer volume of shysters allows it to become "normal".

Level 38

Jul 12, 2014

Definitely not

Level 54

Mar 12, 2021

tried fuzzy lmao

Level 32

Aug 14, 2012

Could the last one be "fall"?

Level 56

Mar 31, 2020

That's all I thought of. We don't see a lot of snow - falls, flurries or otherwise - in Australia.

Level 72

May 15, 2020

Hey, I skiied in the Snowy Mountains in Australia!

Level 54

Mar 12, 2021

but snowfall is just precipitation in the snow form in general. A rain shower is just light but intense rain, which is what a flurry is for snow.

Level 27

Aug 14, 2012

I tried "floo," "flu," and "flou." More spellings please?

Level 14

Aug 14, 2012

Oh so that's why in Harry Potter they call it floo powder! They travel through chimneys which are called FLUES!! I get it!!

Level 58

Aug 14, 2012

mind=blown :o

Level 55

Jul 30, 2015

TIL Rowling was witty in naming yet another HP thing, and also that chimneys are called flues (what?? NEVER heard that, ever).

Level 92

Jan 25, 2019

A fly and a flea in a flue were imprisoned, so what could they do? Said the flea, 'let us fly'. Said the fly, 'let us flee'. So they flew through the flaw in the flue.

Level 24

Feb 26, 2019

The flue is actually the inner shaft; the chimney is the whole structure.

Level 18

Aug 15, 2012

showers are to rain as freezers is to snow.

Level 65

Feb 28, 2019

Your recommendation for the analogy doesn't qualify as an analogy. Showers don't cause rain to be in liquid in the similar way that freezers cause snow to be in a solid form.

Level 36

Aug 15, 2012

Could brotherly be "fraternity" as well?

Level 69

Dec 13, 2016

Fraternity is a noun. As brotherly is an adjective, the clue clearly requires an adjective as an answer.

Level 16

Sep 13, 2012

Could floo be accepted?

Level 58

Feb 24, 2019

why?

Level 78

Oct 15, 2013

What about "fight" for prolonged and bitter quarrel? Maybe it's not as good as "feud" but it still fits. I think.

Level 77

Feb 1, 2015

A fight doesn't have to be long at all.

Level 80

Jun 3, 2014

Seriously? I've played guitar for 30 years and didn't get "fret." I thought you meant "capo." That is a serious facepalm brainfart.

Level 70

Jul 10, 2014

great quiz; excellent words and meanings! Thanks!

Level 65

Jul 26, 2014

A flue is a part of a chimney, not another word for a chimney (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flue). Fireplace would be closer, though it's still only a part of a chimney (the opening at the bottom). I think fireplace should at least be accepted as well as flue.

Level 58

Feb 24, 2019

"A flue is a duct, pipe, or opening in a chimney" - extract from the wiki entry, so clearly a part of a chimney, not another word for chimney. If you asked for 'historical word for chimney' then you might be correct

Level 75

Jun 22, 2017

I tried fireplace :}

Level 65

Feb 6, 2020

Fireplace is definitely not closer, you might as well say firescreen or firepoker or log is closer. Do you have a fireplace on your roof?

Level 92

Dec 23, 2014

For the lie question, I tried "falsehood", "falsity" and "fabrication". Didn't come up with the correct answer. D'oh!

Level 45

Jul 30, 2015

Sprinkles are to rain as flurries are to snow.

Level 75

Jul 30, 2015

Better analogy IMHO. My weatherman makes a distinction between flurries and snow showers.

Level 24

Feb 26, 2019

Yes, a shower is more about duration than intensity. Flurries are always light, but can last a while. A shower can be heavy, but is always short.

Level 78

Jul 30, 2015

Had problems coming up with "fraternal" because I had "filial" stuck in my head.

Level 83

Jul 30, 2015

QM dropping F bombs all over the place...

Level 57

Jul 30, 2015

Kept trying "foundry" for the blacksmith clue. It didn't occur to me that you were specifically asking for the furnace itself.

Level 60

Jul 31, 2015

A lie could also be a falsehood.

Fireplace could also be analogous to chimney since a flue is also not a chimney, but the metal vent inside the chimney that controls the amount of air that flows in and out.

Level 65

Feb 6, 2020

A flue is everything but the brick itself of the concept chimney. The fireplace is not a chimney at all (it is as wrong as calling a campfire a chimney) or part of it. Chimney is the structure above the fire place to let the smoke out (aircanal usually made by bricks, also in places without a fireplace like a factory)

Level 58

May 9, 2017

Surely 'Freestyling' should be accepted. 'Improvisational rapping' could be a gerund as freestyling is.

Level 61

Feb 25, 2019

Absolutely.

Level 40

Jan 16, 2018

I got stuck on filial for brotherly

Level 28

Jan 18, 2018

I got Fedora, but after the time was up

Level 48

Feb 24, 2019

Fedora is the only one I knew. *tips hat*

Level 28

Mar 28, 2019

A chimney can also be referred to as a funnel - just think of the Titanic.

Not always the most reliable of sources but from wiki -

The term "funnel" may refer to the chimney or smokestack on a steam locomotive and commonly refers to the same on a ship.

Level 74

Feb 12, 2022

I tried funnel first too.

Level 84

Oct 28, 2019

I read that as 'satire' and spent too much time trying words like farce, fake, faux, funny...

Level 36

Feb 6, 2020

A lie could also be a fabrication or a falsehood. Improv rapping could be flow or flowing

Level 91

Aug 4, 2020

Actually, a lie is something that is deliberate and said with the intent to mislead. Lies don't have to be falsehoods. Quoting a truthful statement out of context with the intent to mislead is a lie.

Level 75

Aug 16, 2020

accept freestyling for freestyle? i’d argue it fits the clue better

Level 38

May 17, 2022

Funnel should be accepted for chimney.

Level 61

Jul 13, 2022

For the reporter hat, I thought it was referring to a Newsboy Cap. I kept trying to stretch my brain for another name for them other than "those stereotypical Irish hat thingies".

Level 75

Oct 2, 2023

Something is amiss here. I typed in 'galoshes', 'gratuity' and 'grotto'. All to no avail. Then wondering if I had mis-typed those answers, I typed them in again. Still no pat on the back or at least a 'Try again later'. Despondent, I shuffled my feet under my desk... then a sort of inspiration hit me. I asked myself "Who is the most powerful being in this rather popular and increasingly popular website?"... I smiled as I realised who it was. With a cry of "Eureka!" I tapped those letters in. K-A-L-B--A-H-A-M-U-T. Alas, he did not enlighten me on the the answers I needed... but I know what colour shoes my wife should not wear at a funeral, wedding or a marriage. God bless you Kalba Master! You are the One!
