I got a question about Holidays Category. Is it the words exactly or does it have to mention the holiday associated with it?

Just the words

I just wanted to be sure that's what you meant.

Do these work:

Plurals
Eye candy for candy
Lash for eyelash
Flag down for flag

Plurals are fine
The rest work just make sure that lash is pertaining to the eye not lashing someone

...Ok, this gave me a laugh!
I guess I read it wrong, I was wondering how an eye could lash someone!!!!
I read it as " The eye not lashing someone"

LOL!

trying to find info on what the captain needs to do....thnx

Couple quick ?'s

Thanks!"

Ale is ok
Egg shaped is ok
Ear is not ok. It needs to be earlobe or lobe.

ETA-Ear is acceptable

Ok, thanks :)

I changed earlobe to ear on the list.

Just so everyone knows any form of Sparkle is acceptable.

So you can search for Sparkled and Sparkling too.

For pupil, can I use pupils

Does bedrock count for rock?

It was the bedrock upon which a foundation of something deeper could be built.

That will work

Can I use a different spelling of mustache - here in the UK we spell it moustache...

Another question - I can find 'sparkle' as the name of a street (Sparkle Street...) rather than as a verb. Do I need to find the verb instead or can it be used in that context?

Sparkle Street will work.

So if I find the word within the book it doesn't necessarily have to be in the same context as the item list right?

For Element I found a book that uses the term in the context of "criminal element". Would that count?

That would count

Thank you much Jennifer....by the way, do you ever sleep? I see you posting stuff in our mutual groups at all hours...of course I'm up at the same times reading the posts but then I know I don't get enough sleep LOL.

Actually, this is a bit late for me to be up :)

Do gemstones count as names?

Ruby (female name)
Onyx (name of a bar)

Yes, both of those would count

Do captain need to place team points in a separate thread?

No, I take care of everything. I just need you to double check the spreadsheet to make sure I got everything correct.

Just wanted to be sure.

I have a stupid question: on the bonus word this week, necklace, does it have to be the actual word necklace or can a passage describe a necklace- for example: "..a short string of pearls resting at her throat." Obviously it's descibing a pearl necklace, but it never used the words necklace.

I would take that
