Did you know?
- Pears are mentioned in Homer's Odyssey, so Europeans have grown them for about 3,000 years.
- The slightly gritty feel of a pear comes from tiny clusters of hard cells, called stone cells.
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.
