Did you know?
- Cultivated garlic seldom makes fertile seed, so it is grown by planting its cloves.
- Crushing a clove forms allicin, a sulphur compound that helps the plant defend itself against pests.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
