    "Germ" just means a small thing that grows into something. The "germ theory" of disease was proposing that pathogens would grow inside people to cause disease, rather than it being injuries or poisons or malnutrition, and people using the term already knew the word "germ" for something plants would grow from.

    Mark Twain took his name from the river pilots on the Mississippi who had to sound the depth of the river using a lead weight on a graduated line. Mark Twain meant there were two fathoms (12 ft) of water.

    You danced around so many right answers in Strands!! Rooks and books was painful to watch!

    I agree Allie is odd spelling - it's Ali McGraw after all ! Edit - her middle name is Alice and she was born a McGraw. Shockingly she's now 85.

    Perfect Connections! I got the purple pun and tried the reverse order but the order was funny. The green were the leftovers for me too. Technically perfect anyway.
    Tough Mini. Tracy is turning the heat up a notch. 4:50 for me.
    Entertaining Strands. Shania Twain is a country singer from Canada. I didn't ace this: I tried BROOK without the S.

    Am I the only one who hears " Surrey With The Fringe On Top " ( Oklahoma) when they saw fringe?

    I didnt find the Mini hard mostly because i started with SPEWS so no misleading words to guess at.. Spurts or spray leads to all sorts of issues Kenny had the same.
    I also didnt know that Allie was a nickname for Alexander. But when you said "Alexa" my Alexa woke up and bonged 🤣

    I found the Mini easy because I'm familiar with the phrase "wizened with age". Also, I have a cousin Allie, short for Alexandra. Where I live, the spelling "Ali" skews to the masculine side

    Country music not big in the Rangsk household then ?!

    You can have the germ of an idea - something that grows into a plan or concept. Germ cells are to do with reproduction too.

    You obviously don't know country music lol. This was very easy for me.
