I don't know which is which, I thought the 2nd one was being clued earlier

6:27 pm

Gillie

To get the first da6, change the middle consonant

6:27 pm

First one replaces a consonant, second one a vowel

6:28 pm

It's a weird one (I think)

6:28 pm

Lizlin

6:28 pm

hokie carla

shew, thx

6:30 pm

Yes, very. It's a kind of apple.

6:31 pm

Lizlin

I've never heard of the apple, though.

It's too sweet, in my opinion, but very common in North America

6:32 pm

Lizlin

Not aware of having seen it in the UK or Australia

6:32 pm

hokie carla

I can't think of anything like that. I stick with gala or honeycrisp.

6:32 pm

Lizlin

Which isn't to say it doesn't exist in those countries.

Lizlin

Granny Smiths for me.

6:34 pm

hokie carla

they're too tart for me. I need the sweet.
