Thursday Aug 10 Drawbridge game

[Jacki]

How unusual to see only one rosette for a game - well done Starfish! I missed redbird- even now as I type it keeps changing it to two words but I have a memory of it being a common word from past games.

I don't think it should be classed as common. Only 9 players out of 301 got it.

I don't think I played redbird, but seeing the word I immediately think of Roger Miller's colourful song lyrics from the 1960s:

In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love ...

But it does seem to be quite a rare word, especially outside north America. The vast majority of search results are for company names, etc.

I'll make it rare.

Good decision, Alan.
