Shedding Some Light On The "What's This Wednesday" Clue

Usually, I run my "What's This Wednesday" clues through JStew to figure out how easy or how difficult the clues are. Since he was on vacation this week, I had to find another audience to try my clue on. Luckily, I have 4 built-in, opinionated, brutal truth-tellers (unless of course something breaks, and then they're total liars!) living with me. So I ran the clue by my kids (4, 7, 9 and 12 years old) and since they couldn't get it, I figured it would be tricky enough...because they usually guess everything!

This weeks clue:

What's This Wednesday Clue for 7-15-2020

As always, it's something that's in my office/studio. And I am always amused at the totally random guesses that would absolutely NOT be in my office/studio--but you get so many points for creativity...or maybe you think I am just that strange. Can't say that I'd blame you.

Your guesses this week did not disappoint:

Tina Paradise

Your microphone

Keri Whitney Tiny Mad Hatter Hat!

Robin Winchester Reed Top on a bottle of shampoo or lotion?

Elizabeth Leavitt Your coffee pot??

Matina Ageli Motorbike helmet...

Melanie Perkins Top of a thumb tack

Rob Irwin Some kind of a dish or a pot ontop of the stove.

Tina Paradise Auto base/holder for your cell phone

Felicia Saucier Maybe a ninja

Marcie Lynn Coombs Littlefield Bottle of ambesol?

Kari J. Barnes Decorative vase?

Natalee Kohls French press

Shari Giffard Keefe Instant pot?

May of you were on the same page when it came to one specific guess:

Natalee Kohls Cabinet door knob

Sarah Brown Gas grill knob

Sandra Lyn It looks like a door knob to me

Christine Thibodeau Knob on the stove?

Debra Dudley Doorknob

Thomas Brown Door knob

Cassie Clukey Mitchell Faucet knob

Carrie Mitchell Door handle

My favorite guesses of the morning: It's like you know me so well! (I'd be thrilled to have either of these in my office...I'd also have diabetes by the end of the week!)

Suzanne Cushing Chocolate fondue?

Marianne W. Mills Cake pan?

But the correct answer was: desk lamp!

What's This Wednesday Answer for 7-15-2020: A desk lamp

And this week's "Smarty Pants Bragging Rights" go to: (some of them weren't exactly on the dot, but close enough!)

Wandamae Stoddard Buck Base of a lamp?

Delcina Gomm Lamp?

Heidi Farquhar Lantern

Becki Telesca Base of a lamp

Gregory Gray A lantern for camping/ emergencies.

As always, thanks for the guesses. We'll play again when JStew is back next week!
