While the following answer to 'nohing' must start with a K, I think it is a bad hint because unlike many of the other choices, there are MANY words that begin with the letter 'b' and mean nothing. Bupkis, barren, bare, etc. I went through all three of those answers and several more before I got blank from working backwards from the succeeding answers.

So you couldn't come up with a 5-letter word that started with "B" and was synonymous with "nothing". In other words, you drew a...(wait for it)....blank?

I don't think blank = nothing.

They can both be adjectives, but with different meanings ("a nothingblank job" / "a blanknothing piece of paper").

Other than that, blank is a noun or a verb, and nothing is a pronoun or adverb.

I did get it though, because they are very similar.

Suggest the clue should be rephrased: "To contain nothing" because this has the same meaning as blank. However, nothing on it's own doesn't mean the same thing as blank.

I was only thinking of what happens/what you get when you get stung. And looking for a word for that. (Then is was like...d'ohhh ofcourse !)

yay, I got them all :) 2+mins left even. not often I get 100% second time this week now. I was actually surprised at the average scored. usually I am right around or slightly above average. But the average for this one is quite a bit lower (24/32) so I wonder what the reason is. If/why it was extra hard for others or less so for me. It is not a specefic subject I am good at or something. So the difference with the average public surprised me (more than my personal score)

Ah... come to think of it, after reading the comments. Maybe most didnt read instructions? About it being a chain. Not that for many I needed the letters. But still. (tokyo, tango (several 5 letter ones), blank, kanji, and yemen (as others have stated, not the only 5 letter option). But well then after some tries I still would ve gotten tango and yemen. (and good chance for tokyo)

I feel like 'empty' or 'unmarked' would be a better clue for 'blank.' Blank is usually an adjective, so having the noun 'nothing' as the clue can be misleading.

The 'exile' clue could be worded better. Exile is 'the state of being barred' from one's native country (noun), or 'to expel and bar someone' from their country (verb). Such a person would be an expatriate, or expat.

The notion that Romans signaled disfavor--or, more to the point, death--for losing gladiators by giving a "thumbs down" is due to a mistranslation of the phrase "pollice verso" ("with the thumb turned") used to describe the gesture made by the Emperor (or whoever was presiding over the contests) to call for killing a gladiator. That gesture involved pointing the thumb at one's own chest--a far more evocative way to tell whoever was waiting for instructions to finish off the loser than turning one's thumb down would have been.

But a popular Nineteenth Century French painter thought "verso" meant "turned down" and produced a painting showing that. Too late to undo that mistake now, not that historical accuracy matters all that much in this context.

the bread one makes no sense...plenty of kinds of bread don't have yeast. it's called unleavened. like naan, pita, etc. "makes dough rise" would be way more accurate.
