“Going underground”
Bloody hell… Maybe easy if you grow up with these names, but for me? What a nightmare…
Wacky.

“Going underground”
Yeah, not easy for those for whom English is a second language…

“Just right”
Saw porridge and knew what I was looking for right away. Nice idea, but somewhat simple execution…

“Just right”
Nope.

“Just right”
Laughable.
I take it you are not familiar with that fairy tale (Goldilocks, I think it’s called in English?)

“Just right”
I am familiar with it… but I know it from being told it in a different language and probably in our own “abridged” versions of it, so there’s that?
Once all the words were in place, it made sense. I recalled how they related. But while I was doing the thing, I failed to see the connection altogether. It happens sometimes. And I’m still not 100% sure what the hint aludes to (it’s something the girl says when she’s trying the beds, I think?)
The papa, mama, and baby in the puzzle are three bears from the fairy tale henceforth known as “Goldilocks and the Spangram”. In English, Goldilocks tried the three bowls of porridge/chairs/beds and in each case one is too hard/soft, one is too hot/cold while the third is “just right”
Yeah, that “trying things until it’s right” thing I remember, but in the version I recall the bears were just of different sizes, and not “papa”, “mama” and “baby”…
Yeah, that was kind of why I asked: I was wondering if those fairy tales differ depending on what country they are told in. Obviously, they are!

“Just right”
Very unsatisfying. 9 is just too many words.
Eh. Cute but choppy.

“Know your material”
Tricky, especially muslin. Never heard of that before.
