Wow. Never in a million would I get that one. I was trying to make a flower / rabbit /garden connection with rox’s clues. However, I did immediately figure out foas wasn’t calling anyone a name & meant to key in ”hints” not bints. It’s the Qwerty keyboard layout that tipped me off. Interesting that ’bints’ is an actual word for UK - I never heard it used anywhere I’ve been in US.

Sometimes the word is on the tip of our tongue, and you just can't get it. It seems that it goes missing, or gone forever.

I’ll agree this is an easy one if / when my answer is deemed correct. I’ve been sucked into thinking “of course, what else could it be?“ and then found it was indeed something else! 😁

I got "he's not in there". I'd be unlikely to say "he's out of there" so that one didn't occur to me.
