A sheep, a werewolf and a walrus walk into a bar.

Welcome sheep fans, to a Necro-style alphabet (or Alphabecro, geddit?!) sheep

That is, you have 26 questions below and each answer must start with a different letter. Your answers do not need to be in alphabetical order though. You'll notice the final question is just a catch all for you to use up your final unused letter

Simple, right?
The theme here is animals

Cani use the same letter for different answers or different letter for each answer ?

Nope, different letter for each answer.
Any duplicates will score zero!

(well, I'll try to check entries and let people know if they've made a mistake, but no promises)

Made a start. Will finish tomorrow. Like these ones where it's challenging to fit your instinctive answer into the letters available..
Note how I gave up for tonight..head is wrecked😂

Confidence is high here too!
(For the wooden spoon! )

In! Need a distraction from work Big Grin

Me...when I think I have found answers for all letters then discover I have forgotten one or used one twice. 😂 Will attempt it later.

I hope to get to this when I have a chance.

Here is what I so sometimes for alphabet sheep. Enter my answers on a spreadsheet and then do a Sort to ensure I have no duplicates.

A million scraps of paper and intermittent break downs!

Finally in! I'm in the Buile school of doing things😜
I'm sure my family think I'm being very industrious with all my "notes".

My version is an A4 sheet of paper, line down the middle and 13 letters in each column. Then try to find an answer for each letter, swear like a sailor and have numerous tantrums. Foolproof! 🤯

2 pages of a reporters pad, one with the letters, one with the questions, fill in the harder letters/questions first, then match up all the questions so I have the list to send.

Mind you, I've not had much success so maybe it's not the best alphabet system

😂

Answer the questions on one side of the page , tick off the corresponding letter on the other side . Then try make animals fit the last remaining letters 😂

are we allowed use google?

Yep , it definitely helps in this game for the awkward letters!

I ended up with 23 answered , but with four letters remaining...🙈 Took a while to figure out what was doubled up 🙈😉

Do I know animals, does google know animals, I'll try and get "answers" in this week

I do remember the alphabet

I sometimes wonder when I search for "thing beginning with letter", how many of those search options this forum was responsible for? I know it's not a lot, but it sure seems like some of the options Google throws up were made just for us Big Grin

That's where you need Declan's spreadsheet.. Put them all into an excel & sort by letter

I'll try get answers in today or tomorrow. My tactic last time was to answer what I thought were the most 'obvious' sheep answers and work from there

This is basically cheating!

Generally what happens to me is that after I've answered about 75-80% of the questions I realise that I've doubled up a few, then I have to go back and re jig loads of answers to get to the 26.. Trying to decide which is the less likely sheep out of 2 answers is tough & then fitting letters into the remaining questions! And you're usually stuck with a tricky letter or two to finish.. There is a fine line between fun and infuriating, thanks @E.N. Tongue

If people thing Declan is a nerd for sorting an excel list then I'm getting quiet about what I do.
...
...
...

I also use excel, but have the questions in Column A, my answers in Column B, use a formula to take the first letter of the answer and put it in Column C, and then I have A-Z running down Column D and a conditional format to highlight the unique letters that haven't been used yet...

Does this make sense? Undecided

It tells me I still need to use an A, E, and F
