Animal

Mammals, birds, fish, insects - anything that lives in the wild.

What counts as a valid answer?

The animal category covers every kind of creature: mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians and insects. Specific breeds like Labrador or Rottweiler usually will not count - the game wants the name of an animal, not a breed. Everyday names are your safest bet.

A tip for play

Reliable letters: C - Cat, Cheetah; E - Elephant, Eagle; T - Tiger, Turtle.
