Clue of the Day

8-word Alert: Our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with 8 non-hint words is the best practice.

Will correct spelling count?
I went completely blank trying to think of this 4 syllable city… what a dolt! 2/3 correct answers.
I like this clue. I used to look up the spelling of the U.S. city because I thought it ought to have an extra R, even though I didn’t know about the Spanish counterpart. It would be funny if someone put the extra R in by mistake. 🤣
I’ll say TWO right.
I also wanted to say thanks for the well wishes yesterday. That whole visit went smoothly, no waiting time and the lady helping me was so nice. I don’t get the results till later today though.
Glad everything went smoothly for you yesterday, VJ, and hope the test results turn out well.
The Italian musical instruments quiz was fun.
They should all get this one. 3/3
I’ll say 3/3 today, as the 4-syllable part really narrows it down.
