Remi, your answers need to be tweaked a little.

niteowl, you're good on #2 but I need a little more on #19

michele, the first word needs some work.

Marian, I need a little more from you too.

7. building blocks or toy blocks

11. boat docks?

I pluralized my answers. Is that it?

Morning.

11. Naval docks

20. flowerbox

I'll take building blocks, michele

Yes, that's it Remi

I'll take 11 and 20, Joan. Nurse's crocs works but you didn't read my mind this time. These are worn higher on the body

13. Nurse's smocks

17. wind-up clocks

Two good ones, ladies

10. Asian woks

That works

12. money talks

That's what I thought, Cheryl. But given the other
half of "money talks"...I ruled it out

Plus the way I pronounce "talks" doesn't exactly rhyme
with blocks

Nice finish, Cheryl

It rhymes the way I say it, Joan.
