Say the first one is, ‘cloud’ you could have
‘Every cloud has a silver lining’

How about ‘money’ to start with?

I hear a lot of old sayings but I hope you all do not mind if I ask a question. Whenever I pestered my mother about getting a book I really wanted or something similar she would always say “Wait and see as Mr Asquith said” Have any of you ever hears this saying. I know who Mr Asquith was but did he say “Wait and See”

So my word is “Wait”

crazyH Thu 21-Dec-23 21:04:15

As I said, this game is definitely taking a life of its own 😂

No Annie1 I haven’t heard that
