Dang it, misread the second character in the thumbnail- 68th.
Know the words, but they don't work.
Nice puzzle - had it from the thumbnail but Tanga took at least 50 seconds to check the answer. Had the hyper almost solved by the time my crypto and OWW answers took.
Very nicely clued :)
What does it mean when the E is on the animal?
[5] You say the letter then the animal, or sometimes the animal comes first. Depends on the puzzle.
No way I believe all you people know ALL these animals. Where can I get the picture book? It's really hard to google hairy animal or brown thing. I get some weird answers. My husband is tired of me asking "what's this" and then me cussing because he got it wrong. Got any suggestions for me? Thanx. Joyce
[7] After a while, you see the same animals and images cropping up again and again in puzzles. There's only so many ways that you can represent certain sounds. Sometimes the puzzle maker will use the Latin name if it's obscure. As far as the last animal in this puzzle goes, it is a long haired bovine found in the Himalayas.
[8] is right. This image, in particular, has been used by this same puzzlemaker before (and many others). Although besides coming to recognize them from previous puzzles, there's also the thought that it's got to be a relatively short sound if it's being used to represent part of something else. I was showing my husband a puzzle with some alka seltzer fizzing up to clue "fizz" (-F) and he was trying to use "effervescent" (-F). I was like, "Really? Do you think someone worked 'ervescent' into their cryptopix somehow?" LOL
There are some standard animals to recognize though. This one (Google what [8] said), gnu, ewe, ox, doe, buck, ram being some of the most common.
since I don't know them all, as in animals, I made the first guess that comes to mind. The Ing Lion gets me every time though. other times, I go to National Geographic and start searching pictures for the letter that corresponds to a sound I think I'm looking for. And sometimes, most times, its about context. When the first assumption doesn't work, I try another, then I walk away and later come back and say "I wonder." And somedays, I simply forget I was working on the puzzle.
