4. Not a proper word in my view……but I don’t to make the rules.. Really struggled to get the last line ….hence the above..
I disagree, you have a point but I think the word stays safe outside the “name” boundary. To use the noun’s “Everest” or “Chomolungma” would be wrong to me, in this game. To use the word “Mountain” would be fine. To use the word “Himalaya”, though a noun in its own right, acts as an adjective as well… so I would be happy to have that included (if it had 5 letters, but you know what I mean)
Worst start possible, 2 full words with no letters in. But after reduce the solution to little. An honest 5!
Never mind yesterday…..what a toughie today. Coffee nearly got cold… Used all the vowels in 2 lines and got one yellow….WTF Paused, thought about it and hey ho a 4. Mrs O still struggling but …. she has just come with the word of the week PIOUS….not a big help today though .
For any geographers out there, why not try Worldle, guess the country or territory by the outline. https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/
No, the opposite, Birds is fine; a robin redbreast is using robin as a descriptor, so again acceptable; but in “meet Robin, she’s my sister.” is purely a noun and not acceptable. In other words, I’m happy with nouns that are clearly not just names, there are grey areas, but to me Robin was ok. Today’s results were good! Very informative nil points first line, followed by keystone letters in the second... don’t call me a pessimist, I happily got this in three!
Surely, in Robin Redbreast Robin is the noun and Redbreast is the adjective? Likewise in your example Himalaya, this word in the plural would be the noun and with an added N it becomes the adjective? Tomorrow will be my, and yours, I think, 40th crack at this puzzle and looking back at the answers I count 7 words that, as spelt, are nouns, albeit, with slight modification could be adjectives or verbs. So I see nothing wrong with nouns, as long as they are in reasonably common use, and not some esoteric medical or scientific term, or the like.
As my post above. Round is the adjective and Robin is the noun. I don’t have a problem with this particular word as a sub species of the blackbird family but as a person’s name I do because some of the first names now given to children which are corruptions of “traditional names” in order to make them less common are “unfair “. As would first names originating from languages other than English. Blackbird is an interesting word as it is one word but clearly composed of an adjective followed by a noun. Relating to a whole family of “feathered friends” or just one particular object such as the SR71.
