One more incomplete entry (I'm actually getting good at guessing these now!):

-----

6. Giant_pigfish

Your answer: found around the great barrier reef

9. Scarlet_tanager

Your answer: the male is bright red with black wings and tail

-----

I think this definition is missing something, too.

Also, in that set, I got two questions about "street names" for drugs. I know the selection should be essentially random, but getting 13% drug slang seems a little odd.

4. Hold back
Your answer: bottleneck

bottleneck means "a narrowing that reduces the flow through a channel"

The correct answer was cumber

'bottleneck' could easily be 'hold back'

Trimmed some birds and fish out

11. Disorderly fighting

Your answer: dogfingt

Should be 'dogfight' or 'dogfighting'.

Happy WW Typo Trivia!

Oral stimulation of the vulva or clitoris

Your answer: cunnilinctus

Thanks for the report -- I clearly forgot about the good old clitoris.

Just nuked 11 entries dealing with it. And 13 testicles. And 10 vulvas.

"cunnilinctus"

I bet Boots don't sell it!

7. Sheepshead_porgy

Your answer: from florida and bahamas to brazil

There are still a few incomplete animals around.

Happy WW Error Trivia!

<< There are still a few incomplete animals around. >>

yep, probably more to go. Am weeding them out and any similar ones as they are reported here. thx!

2. Informal:leave
Your answer: peel of

I think this should be 'peel off'.

'Informal:leave' should be 'Informal: leave' or '(informal) leave'.

'Peel of' does occur in two sources: Rhymezone & LookWAYup, but I think it is a typo.

13. (Yiddish) unbelievable gall
Your answer: hutzpah

I think it is missing the first letter- a 'C'.

I just tried to play Mind Melt - it's telling me I have already played for today.. and I know I haven't.
Grrr @ Mind Melt !

<< I just tried to play Mind Melt - it's telling me I have already played for today.. and I know I haven't.>>

Daily games reset a little later today. I had to hook in the new statistic gathering stuff and reset them manually.

5. A grotesque product of the imagination
Your answer: boogeyman

boogeyman means "an imaginary monster used to frighten children"

The correct answer was chimera

I suppose with a few seconds more thought/reading I would have gone for 'chimera' over 'boogeyman'. There probably isn't much more that can be about close cases like this.

Happy New WW Trivia!

I think you're right, bubblesfun. It is after all pronounced with an "H", sort of. With that clearing-of-the-throat sound, that's more "H" than anything else in English, anyway.

7. The act of dividing by cutting or splitting

Your answer: hack

hack means "kick on the arms"

The correct answer was scission

Other definitions of 'hack' are 'cut away' & 'cut with a hacking tool'.

Again, I suppose with a few seconds more thought/reading I might have gone for 'scission' over 'hack'. As with the previous case, there probably isn't much more that can be done about close cases like this.

7. Sometimes destructive to cultivated bulbs
Your answer: common european earwig

Quote:

---

I think "hutzpah" is acceptable as well. It is like how some people spell Hanukkah with a C -- it depends on the translation.

---

Thanks, Bubbles. You are quite right, and I sit corrected.

6. A man who is a stupid incompetent fool

Your answer: brute

brute means "a cruelly rapacious person"

The correct answer was zany

Although 'zany' has the given definition in some sources, I wouldn't have chosen it over 'brute' in this case.

"10. Common_wallaby

Another case where some answer is missing, I think.

Your answer: widely cultivated

True, but incomplete.
