I was trying for the longest time to figure out what other words could be used for a baby bird's nose, - beak, bill, etc. Finally I reread the clue and figured out it said noise, not nose. Face smack.

I did this on the dog clue and thought that "elephant"would have been a more accurate clue for "trunk"!

It means you've missed out on a fantastic movie! When you get the chance check out Trainspotting (1996).

Fortune could be bad luck as well as good. A better clue would just be "luck." Even though fortunate means to have good luck not bad luck, but so does lucky.

I tried chestnut for the bay clue. Bay horses can be a reddish brown, but not all the time. They also have black manes, tails, lower legs, and ear tips.

Yes. As the former owner of a beautiful bay horse, I never would have thought that "bay" was the answer to that question since bays also have black manes, tails and socks.

Since when is cricket 'a British sport', implying that only Brits play it? Just because Americans don't play it, please don't forget that many countries across the world love cricket.

I expect you would agree that basketball is an American sport even though other countries play it?

It was first played in England, which I do believe is, in fact, British.

It may have escaped your notice, but the other places where cricket is most popular in the world are generally former British colonies of a certain era. It's not a coincidence.

I was going to complain that the two uses of magazine were not really homonyms, because one ("periodical") was derived from the other ("storehouse"). But then I reread your comments under the title and learned a new word; "polysemous." Something to teach my parrot.

Never heard of a chick going "peep" ... but is that where "not hearing a peep" comes from?

These are not homophones, but rather words that have double meanings. A homophone consists of two words that sound the same, but have different spellings.

That said, a fun quiz.
