Another word game - twenty questions

br0adwater, there are metal particles that make the sparks and I only said that the object had a loose connection to effigies (as in Guy Fawkes), but maybe I was too obscure, sorry.

No you didn't go wrong, it was they way I was interpenetrating the clues. Good game.

Fair enough they're connected with an effigy

Oh! Well done WB.

This is a good thread.

Well done WB

Like an effigy?

Includes metal?

YES, you got it, but where did I go wrong with the clues?

Not sure it fits the clues, but I'll try fireworks

Do you often hear that wobbly???

Oh Wobbly - you are so hot - 4 to go

Bonfire

No Wobbly, but SO close - 5 to go

Oh that must be it. !

Bella, when I said not a plaything I did specify not for children to play with, doesn't mean it's practical!! Trying to give clues here.

Guy fawkes

Not a scarecrow, but this object has a loose connection to effigies. That's a good clue - 6 to go

Can't be a scarecrow as it's of no practical use

Think you said can be in the garden, but not necessarily. Just thinking aloud. Mmmm

Scarecrow

Linsco - am laughing so much can't type, good guess, but no - 7 to go

Wobbly - yes some of the minerals may be metallic - 8 to go

Is it a garden gnome?

Bella not a plaything as such (ie not for children to play with) - 9 to go

Linsco,yes normally - 10 to go
