Mm Links April 2014 Week 3
40 Answers
'Lady Jill' (aka tearinghair) here again, wearing (I hope) a more generous hat this week.
Seeing my grandsons only every couple of years means that I’m not so aware as many of you of what a surprise they can be. Both are fascinated by interesting facts, and were keen to pass on odd information such as ‘you can eat scorpions, they’re best roasted’, ‘some bees are green’, and ‘the king cobra can growl’. Certainly they enjoy Wii games too, but a visit to the library was a high spot of Sunday (!) afternoon.
Their TV viewing was limited (by their parents), but it was good to see that as well as the inevitable cartoon channels there were some excellent factual programmes, including one called ‘How it’s made’ which does exactly what it says in the title and held both boys enthralled every day.

I remind you that according to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that each of my pre-selected link words contains at least four letters and at most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts!
Each of the selected link words may go in front of, or behind my challenge word to make a new longer word or to make a well-known phrase or saying. The combination will never be a person's name.
The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when gen2 will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
