Well that was fun. 15 of us set off on our weekly "Parkini Run" we were each allocated a letter, asked to take selfies with something behind us starting with that letter and send the photos to Julia. We were provided with a grid showing a 5 and 10 letter word and as Julia released the photos we were advised which position on the grid the photos were to appear. Once we had the words there was an additional task to guess another 10 letter word linking those two words to a clue to next weeks challenge. Easy! Yeah...you would think so...!

It was interesting to see how the items in the photos could be interpreted to mean different letters e.g. the return of our old friend ๐Ÿด ๐Ÿ’ฉ could be Dung, Manure, Pong or Excrement! There was then the issue of seemingly having too many consonants leading some of us to question if these words were even English.

As usual everyone gave it their all with some great entries. A few if us had our heads in Dictionaries, notepads and Wordy Websites to the point where our brains were scrambled into Alphabetti Spaghetti.

The correct answer was - Faces Everywhere = Pareidolia

Quite frankly Julia S use of that last word was just sesquipedalian ๐Ÿ˜

Well done to Liz and Vicki for guessing correctly, ultimate first prize went to Liz. Julia S used selfies as a tie breaker and one of Liz's cried out to be a winner ๐Ÿ˜ฎ.

That's two new words learnt this weekend. I'm now off to swallow a dictionary while I look forward to next weeks challenge. :D
