    1. I think you meant to switch the order but I also got this solution~
      Glad I got it mercifully quickly 🙂

    1. Bernie Horowitz

      Same here, after dallying with the (almost) irresistible Malarkey. I was surprised it wasn’t the official answer, Smokey Rituals being so ancient and universal, from troglodytes and indigenes to BBQs and Popes.

    1. Colors: AERO #7CB9E8, ROSE #FF007F, RUSSET #80461B, TEAL #008080, TOMATO #FF6347

      Currencies: ARIARY, EYRIR, KURUS, LARI, LEK, LOTI, MARK, ORE, REAL, RIA, RIAL, RIEL, SOL, SOM, TAKA, TALA, TOEA, ORE

      Animals: EEL, KOI, LARK, LLAMA, LOUSE, MAMMAL, MARMOSET, MARMOT, MITE, MOLE, MOLLUSK, MOOSE, MOUSE, OTTER, RAT, ROOK, SEA OTTER, SEAL, SOLE, TERMITE, TURKEY, URIAL

      I’m happy with SEA OTTER as it’s a two-word name, albeit double-lettered. And that I myself showed up as a currency. 🙂

  1. Official. I saw Malarkey, thought it was too obvious/silly, then played with the other possibilities for a while. OA offers interesting commentary.

  2. OA here also. At least there is some variety today. And some birds!

    🐦 TURKEY, LARK, SKYLARK, SALTATOR, TIT, TUI, TITYRA, OAK TITMOUSE, MOTMOT, TOMTIT, SKUA, SERAM ORIOLE, TIMOR ORIOLE, KAKA, KEA, SORA, TEAL, AUK 🐦🐦 ROLLER, ROOK, SOOTY TIT, TATTLER

  3. Really wanted SKYLARKS, SKYLARKER OR SKYMARKS (new word to me) to work but ended up with SOULMATES SMIRKY.

  4. (I wish I had more time for this one. Thanks for all the animals!)

    TOURISM

    LAND & SEA
    There where a motley crew lurks in the deep
    The salty elysia* slither and weep.
    Ashore, a sea otter’s playtime, amorous
    Arouses a hidden spirit, curious,
    More than alarmist malarkey, serious!
    And far in a field, reclusive and timorous,
    A marmoset with a laureate’s soul
    Elusively hides his ulterior role.

    
SKY
    Think of an aerie’s elusory mood:
    A skylark’s soulmate perched on a rood
    A gregarious rook with a blackish hood,
    A tattler in the Siberian wood,
    An auk in the outback— would speak if they could,
    Telling us what we shouldn’t or should,
    Their tutorials, smokey with omens of good.

    * Colorful sea slugs

  5. TOKAMAKS – SERIOUSLY, which I imagine is the likely reaction to this from a lot of people: “Tokamaks? Seriously?”.
    A tokamak reactor is an experimental kind of nuclear fusion containment system.
