The image for #5 is a poor depiction of what might be found on a farm

#1 looks like a monkey to be, but that has nothing to do with the answer

Got most 😃 Electric blanket is very clever - and I never would've guessed that, I think - nor the underdogs. I thought the last one was 'heavy weather' or 'heavy rain', light rain doesn't make as much sense to me.

Aw, booooo...... I suppose Jasdip needs her entertainment too, and I imagine sitting back with a little wry smile, knowing we were all wrongly overconfident, was this week's version. High frequencies....booo... j/k of course -- good one!

Happy Small Furry Creatures Appreciation Day to all. 🐿🦔🐇🦝🐁🐈🐭🐹 I think I have them all. 🤠 LOL, what I think and what the answers are don’t always match. (Nobody tells me to see them after class so all is good) Thanks, Jasdip

Lol, once you see the monkey, you can’t unsee him.😳

I don't have many but I do have something for the two middle ones. But of course may not be correct.

8 is tough. At the bottom is a drop of a liquid.

I'm stuck on 10 and 11. I have no idea what those things are in #11.

ETA - I think I figured out what those things are in #11.

Well, after looking more closely at #1 I think I have the answer. The first couple of comments threw me off, obviously. And I have an answer for #8 but who knows if it’s correct.

Just missing 8, thought I had an answer but the drop hint messed it up.

I've got all but 5, 8, 10 and 11. I grew up on a farm and I can't, for the life of me, think of anything we ever had that even remotely resembled anything shown in #5. Also drawing a blank for #8 and #11. It would help if I could figure out what the drawings in #11 are. I do have a 'maybe' for #10.

And sailing vessels for 11.

I’m not sure I get Roxsol’s hint for #5. I must have a different answer.

Rusty, you have to think of old idioms in most cases and #5 really doesnt have anything to do with farming. Think of the 2 separate pictures and maybe you’ll get it.

For #10 those are smiley faces.

Hmm maybe I am wrong. I did have another answer for #5 that wasn’t quite right. Sports related.

My thought for #5 could be something a farmer would probably do after a long, hard day in the field.👩‍🌾

"The image for #5 is a poor depiction of what might be found on a farm"

That's why I was thinking 'farm'.

Smily faces? ? ? ? ? Ooookaaay. . . . . . . .

And sailing vessels? I can almost see that, at least enough to give me an idea. I thought they were some kind of pine trees, or campfires, or something.

Oh well, maybe I'm spending too much time doing Wordle type puzzles. Can you wear your brain out doing word puzzles?

I also had sign in blood for #8 and think we should get full credit. My first thought for 9 was Hot Flash and then I remembered ‘flash in the pan’ as an old saying.

I didn't get #2 but got the rest. I originally had canned laughter as well until I realized that the picture was of an oil barrel and not a can.

I never did get #8, but thanks to hints I got #5 and 11, and came close on #10. I had 'canned laughter', too. Had all the rest right.
