If you’re here, it’s because you already want answers, so I won’t put on a dog and pony show. While you all know your cats and dogs pretty well, nobody got a purrrfect score.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All correct words are part of some common cat or dog idiom, phrase, character, term, etc. Any word\/phrase you found must be able to be combined with cat(s) or dog(s) or both to make that phrase without having to add extra words. The bonus was a little bit different, and almost all of you found it and received credit for it. I hid nine instances of the word “lives”\u00a0 in the grid for the myth that cat’s have nine lives. Unfortunately for some, they included the word “lives” nine times in there regular answers. While they got the five points for the bonus, they missed out on nine points for other words that could have been found. The official answer list:<\/p>\n

Dogs<\/strong><\/span>
\n[dog] ate my homework
\ncall off the [dogs]
\n[dog] days of summer
\n[dog] eat [dog] world
\nevery [dog] has its day

\njunkyard [dog]
\nlet sleeping [dogs] lie

What’s fun (and a pain) about this way of doing a word find, is that you guys always find alternate words in those huge grids. I had<\/strong> to limit your three letter word entries!<\/p>\n

Other Answers I Accepted<\/strong>
\n————————————–
\ncoon[cat\/dog], [cat]like, lost [dog\/cat], hep[cat], cats[eye], cat[fit], [dog]gone, [LOL]cat, [sly] dog, sea [dog], [cat] call<\/p>\n

Then there were some I did not accept. I googled them all. If they did not bring up results with cat or dog paired with your words without adding more words, they were rejected. If you would like to plead your case for rejected words, please email me.<\/p>\n
