    "Alphabet Sheep is The Cadillac of Sheeps"

    Alphabet Sheep is just like regular sheep with a slight difference. There is only 1 question and 26 answers required.

    Example, if the question was makes of cars

    And you started off
    Avensis
    Bugatti
    Cadillac
    etc, you'd be playing the game properly.

    Is Avensis not a model of car rather than a make? I would have said the make was Toyota.

    People's ages will make a big difference in this one as the fashionable names have changed down the years. Khaleesi for K for example might not be that obvious to the oldies.


    And bollix to that as I just thought of a much more obvious K than the one I submitted :(

    Entered.

    Q1: Do same names of different spelling get collated together or separately?

    Eg, say it was boys' names, then would Eoin and Eoghan be together or separate?

    Q2: What about different variants of the same name?

    Eg, again, if it was boys, say: Robby and Robert, would they be together or separate?

    I had similar questions but couldn't figure out how to ask it without giving away girls names.

    Why does it matter? Just choose the one you think will be more common. If they are added together all the better :)

    The answers don't have to be girls names. They just have to be what everyone else picks so the names qb mentioned could well now be the top answer.

    Eoin and Eoghan will be collated together. As long as the intent is obvious, then yes, I group for what is essentially the same name. If you are concerned about potential groupings, do try to use a common spelling. It is sheep after all and research is allowed :)

    Robert and Robby would group. Robby and Bobby would not group

    Thats the risk he takes.

    For me personally, I'd never change my answers because what if I changed away from the overwhelming sheep and lost the game out of it.

    I'm more of a devil you know, rather than devil you don't kind of guy

    I found this strategy best just knock out the first answer the your head, although its also the worst strategy as I do come out with some woeful answers aswell :o

    Might try the fast as possible then spend a few minutes recapping in future
