	I would be tempted to swap the 'plumber \| water \| drip' hint because for these words the answer is leak. I know they're homonyms, but there must be other words that would negate this anomaly.

	giveupyet:	Jan 15th, 2011 at 18:28 GMT		2 points
	@Flick- I actually accounted for all of the homonyms just in case. "Leak" is an accepted answer for "leek," just as "idle" is an alternative answer for "idol" (corresponding to the clue "lazy") and "hangar" is an alternative answer for "hanger" (corresponding to the clue "airplane"). I agree that these are unique answers- it's easy in the game to say them out loud because they sound the same, but it's harder when you type. Would you recommend making both answers show up when guessed correctly? I only didn't in order to stay true to the cards in the game.

	@recommend making both answers show up. It was just a quibble really. You might want to put both answers or the spelling that fits most of the clues. Either way thumbs up for a great idea.

	Thanks! I'll make both answers show up then, to avoid confusion.

	Still enjoying these. For the life of me I couldn't guess idol/idle. I kept trying to name historical people. :)

	Great job once again. So if I drew "runway" at Taboo, I could say "uh, it's that long strip of concrete at an airport on which planes take off and land all day", but I couldn't say "Heidi Klum"? Okay-y-y. (To be honest, I probably wouldn't think of using Heidi Klum as a clue unless the keyphrase was either "Seal" or "Somehow marrying a woman a billion times better looking than you")

	I was surprised that "Monopoly" wasn't on the "thimble" card. I'd think a lot of younger people would immediately go to that.

	Sadly, some of them are impossible to guess for the average non-American. Otherwise, great quiz.

	I'd get rid of the 2 answer words, it doesn't work as well in reverse.

	giveupyet:	Jan 19th, 2011 at 05:12 GMT		2 points
	@pita- I'd actually think it works better in reverse to have 2-answer words because if, for example, "scallions" doesn't immediately tip you off to "leek," "plumber" and "drip" can tip you off to "leak." It's sort of a confirmation that you're on the right track.

	I have to eat my words - I discovered the Rachael Ray Show in my TV magazine! :-)
