The number of letters in each word is in parentheses. Example : Large seafood (5,6) = jumbo shrimp. -1. pictorial speech (7,8) -2. certain chance (8,11) -3. Hades Seraphim (5,6) -4. necessary option (7,8) think college -5. poor chance (3,4) -6. bellowing quiet (7,7) -7. property improvement (4,11) -8. brief stretch (5,6) -9. casually compressed (7,6) -10. subdued boogie (4,4) The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

I ask because I would expect this one to be deafening silence (but perhaps you use a different expression on that side of the puddle) Last edited by Lex; 07/09/18 12:40 PM.

Sondi and manxman The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.
