Another word game - twenty questions

After yesterday's Twenty Hints on one of the threads, I was reminded of that old favourite Twenty Questions.
Rules reminders:-
Someone thinks of something/someone and posts a very minimal clue - just the category (person, film title, object or whatever)
Others post questions, to which the answer can only be "Yes" or "No" or guesses of who/what they are thinking of.
Questions are limited to twenty.
If someone guesses correctly within the twenty, they choose the next subject, or nominate someone else to do so.
If not, the answer is given and another subject chosen, either by whoever posted the unguessed one or by someone else who has been nominated.

I'll start it off - A person.

Sweet dreams

Wobblybits Sun 06-Nov-16 20:16:58

OK.
Thing

Yes, I do love a cryptic crossword, although I can't do the Telegraph or i - too clever for me, although I did manage to finish an i once.

Goodnight all, sleep well.

Oh that was a good one, would never have got it without the woof, woof clue!
Mr WB would you like to start one?
I can't stay much longer

Wobblybits Sun 06-Nov-16 20:10:20

Well done, some clever cryptic clues. WOOF WOOF = Basset

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 20:09:13

The animal reference was to gelatin, think I shouldn't have said it as it made it harder.

This is a good game, gives us a chance to chat while guessing but I must go for tonight. Back again tomorrow I hope.

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 20:07:50

nanaK - yes you got it and without the last clue. Yipee smile

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 20:06:53

Wobbly - no 7 to go

Wot - no 6 to go

but both on the right track, think chewy and black

Smarties!!

Wobblybits Sun 06-Nov-16 20:03:40

Jelly beans

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 20:01:11

Wobbly, getting closer - 8 to go

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 19:59:24

No Ana - 9 to go

Hmm how can I help this along without giving it away? They are sweets that have been around for over 100 years

Wobblybits Sun 06-Nov-16 19:57:54

Jelly babies

Ana Sun 06-Nov-16 19:56:44

Dog biscuits? grin

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 19:52:08

I take that back, I should have said is an animal NAME (not form) woof woof, sorry.

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 19:50:04

Clue - it has an emblem which is also in animal form, woof woof smile (this is apart from its very small animal content)

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 19:47:48

Ana - getting close as in the object is described/sold as a quantity rather than a single item - 10 to go

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 19:45:43

nanaK - no, but it is confectionary = 11 to go

wobbly - cochineal I think, the original beetle juice, but that is not the animal part, very good guess though and as that's a comment you don't lose a point.

Ana Sun 06-Nov-16 19:44:23

M&Ms?

Wobblybits Sun 06-Nov-16 19:42:11

MrsP told me that the pink was from a beetle.

nanaK54 Sun 06-Nov-16 19:41:44

Sugar mice?
I'm clutching at straws now!

shandi6570 Sun 06-Nov-16 19:41:00

Ana - yum, but no, however you are on the right track. That's down to 13 for Wobbly's guess and - 12 to go for your guess
