What is the hardest object(s) for you to find in HOGS and you cringe when you see it on the list? For me it's belts, nails and hearts.

Hmmm...depends on the game but I have to say needles.

Ana

Oh yeah I forgot about those

The Hardest things for me are Butterflies ,umbrellas,I alway's have the hardest time finding these two items,and most times the umbrellas are not small but I just can't seem to spot them

Anything long, slim and straight - flute, chopsticks, ruler etc.
It must be something to do with how we view the world.

Agree with the long, slim and straight, sneaky game makers hide them in long, slim and straight places eg: brown sticks in brown picture frames

I get frustrated when I'm looking for a baseball bat and find a flying bat, weighing scales/ fish scales, nuts(&bolts)/hazelnuts. You know what I mean. I'm sure you've all found things and muttered Doh!

Elephants and giraffes for me!

Bernie

For me all of above plus hummers.

Nails for me too, and crowbars and pencils. I think yellow for pencils and usually they aren't.

Koalanut

For me its small items like pins and needles also for some reason eye glasses

Lights, flash lights, bulbs, torches,or bats, bats.
It's the tricky duel,words.

Pins, needles, etc. I agree with the "basically long and straight."

I agree with the long and straight objects, but I also find butterflies hard to find, because they tend to blend the color into the backgroud.I also find tomatoes and spiders easy to find,cause I love the first, and hate the latter.

Pretzels threw me for a long time. Bolts remain illusive.

All of the above + feathers.

Doreen

I couldn't help but laugh when reading this as giraffes are the very first object I spot LOL.

Pins and needles are difficult for me.

Bats... because I never know if I should look for a flying mammal or a baseball bat. LOL

I have problems sometimes with butterflies... they often blend in so well you can't spot them.

Hammers!...It's a mental block..I hate hammers!

Feathers for me. In Mishap: An Accidental Haunting I could not find the fishing reel, had to use a hint every time I had to look for one.

For me it's bats and bats (too) and pencils. I've played one freebie here called find the numbers that I have trouble with also.

Different names for objects that are used from other countries, not the name that I would call the object. But I also love learning the names called, so it really is a plus! I think coloration, like pencils, are also difficult for me.

Feathers and mushrooms are always hard for me to find but matchsticks and needles are not a problem... go figure

Along w/many of the things already mentioned here,
I often have problems with funnels,
they are so easily 'morphed' in w/another item.
