Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Well done, I just happened to catch an episode of The Sweeney this morning which I hadn't seen and it got me pondering!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
I knew very well I wouldn't stand a chance and when sitcoms were mentioned was validated.
I have of course seen the odd one over the years but would be hard pushed to remember anything from any of them.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
A trivia question which has arisen from today's FA Cup ties. One of the ties featured two teams who share a word in their title which is only used by one other top flight team as far as I can think!! So the questions are:
Name the two teams in today's tie - 5 points each
Name the third team in the top flight - 10 points
What was the original meaning of the word they have in common - 20 points
All easily looked up but points only for Top of the Head answers!!

There are bandwagon jumpers, and variations on a theme, sprouting up but the original Wordle is perfect simplicity, even if now US spellings (it is now owned by the NY Times can confuse HUMOR was the answer a few days ago
The French Have come up with this....know your countries with Worldle.

But it must be good as the lovely Susie Dent endorses it.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Not my thing either. Oddly I have never had any interest in word based games despite a childhood of Scrabble and Kan-U-Go if any one-remembers that!!

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
The falcon got todays word in 4 attempts. Depends how competitive you are.
I dont think 4 could be beaten with today's word.

A favourite game for us, and still is from time to time, we used the Kan-U-Go cards to turn over after choosing a category, and first one to come up with something in the category beginning with the letter turned over won the card.
Uncle Jim always used to come up with some odd things like Lake Titicaca, Lapis Lazuri, and Vladivostock and of course they used to regularly reappear in subsequent games.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
I take it that Kan-U-Go had a 'lesser' variant called Know-I-Kant?

For the reluctant to try or the uninterested this is the Worldle today.NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑15 Feb 2022, 19:12 The French Have come up with this....know your countries with Worldle.

I put in Albania for the first guess, and the result shows that Albania is 4853 km in a South-West direction from the correct Country. I got the correct country in two further guesses which I have blanked out just in case anyone wants to play along.
