Thanks for the explanation of new - I know the song but despite singing along enthusiastically clearly never got its point.

I thought of blue early on but thought it was too obvious.

And I agree about yesterday! Gnu/new indeed!

I got blue (eventually) but for the wrong reason! 😬

Jumped too quickly with yellow. I was worried blue was too obvious. Purple by default.

Got blue immediately but thought it too idiotic. Then decided it was so ridiculous that I must be wrong & changed it 🙄. No defaults today, just self-doubt scuppering a perfect game lol

I used a clue after being 1 away. Don't think I would have thought of blue otherwise.

very easy for me today .. I never get it without faults! 😆😆

I also know the song from the LP All Aboard in the 70s. I just always thought G-nu was the pronunciation - the g-nicest of the creatures in the zoo!

Oh! How funny @lobba I wonder if it was the same wrong guesses?! I didn't see blue at all until I got the purples 🤦🏻‍♀️

I loved the gnu clue, but then anything animal related is a joy and I'm lucky enough that my pronunciation of gnu (and new) was a help not a hindrance!!

I don't remember a song about a gnu but as I went to school in the 70s I imagine I would have heard it - I never realised the G was meant to be silent .

kindletimeisfinetime · 25/06/2024 18:23

A bit of a blip in the middle but got there!

It is probably a blessing we call them wildebeests now 😂

I’m a g-nu. How about you?
