Now I'm beginning to have serious concerns about my mental status. I did get all the 'regular' puzzle right, so there is that. And even though I looked at the bonus and saw the two words, 'hand' and 'hen', never once did I come even close to changing 'hen' to 'bird'. In my own defense, I will say that while I did grow up on a farm, we never EVER referred to our hens (and we often had a lot of them!) as 'birds'. They were chickens! Rusty

I cant remember exactly what I had but something like what not(nought) to(two) know(no)but it made better sense. At least I was in the right field.

Egads! I think I just got it!! It just popped into my head while I wasn’t overanalyzing it as I usually do. When I looked at it earlier prior to anyone posting I just drew a blank & figured it’s another one I won’t get. @floral_uk z.8/9 SW UK - I think your homeland is familiar with the phrase…..I’ll bet you’re spot on!

so was it ”GOLDen flames” ? Pardon my late question: … I just do not get it :(( PS: never mind I just saw Jasdip’s post ” AUburn” … face palm
