I thought a beanie was like what a Pope would wear. Where was the knit/stocking cap choice? Ha! Bchris 4 months ago Different definition of a beanie that I have ever heard! Beanie is a small round cap that sits on the crown of the head. Not my idea of much warmth! Give me a good old sock cap! rhonda 4 months ago I’ve never heard of a Henley shirt. And I lived in the northeast for about 9 1/2 years. When I looked it up, I realized that I had a couple of these shirts. Linda 4 months ago Too easy! (of course, I’m “old” and have seen many, many winters!) Sam 4 months ago 9/10. “BEANIE”? And the only reason I knew “Henley” was because I had to look it up yesterday. Y’all have a good time in these miserable conditions, but know when the sun comes out and it stops being cold enough to freeze the balls off a pool table, I’ll be the ol’ guy outside, in ‘CUTOFFS’, a t-shirt (possibly with a pocket) and tennis shoes, grinnin’ with with my cohorts. A Lone Star or two may be in evidence…. =] Steve M. 4 months ago A beanie??? Are you kidding?? Word of Truth 4 months ago A beanie with a propeller on top or without a propeller like Spanky wore. D Antos 4 months ago Got Beanie wrong. I think you got it wrong. A Beanie is not a winter hat. Lovern 4 months ago 10/10. Stay warm! Lilly 4 months ago 9/10 Say what?? 4 months ago Beanie? Mom never said to put a beanie on before going out. That’s what we called the nerd caps with propeller on top when I was a kid. Walt 4 months ago 10 of 10. I had never heard of a Henley until yesterday’s puzzle. Wasn’t sure about a cable knit sweater either, but it sounded better than a cardigan. Judith Dunn 4 months ago 10/10 Rich D 4 months ago 9/10 Stay safe. Lana 4 months ago It’s perfect polar bear weather. 9/10. Mary 4 months ago 9/10 Raymond Summers 4 months ago 9/10 Yes stay warm and safe. Gary 1 month ago 9 out of 10 for me. Richard 3 months ago I didn’t know about cable knitting! Titus Canby 4 months ago You got 9 out of 10!”Cable~knit” sweater new term for me! Truth Manhattan 4 months ago 9/10. I guess “Henley shirt” doesn’t have anything to do with “Hotel California.” Joearcher 4 months ago Classic Winter Wardrobe You got 10 out of 10! I had no need for any of that stuff, growing up in Ft. Lauderdale. Then I went to the University of Florida. I came home for Thanksgiving and told my parents I needed warm clothes! Ron 4 months ago Not only did I not know what a Henley is, but I still don’t know because the definition given doesn’t make any sense to me either. ???? KateL 4 months ago 10/10. Living NYS finally paid for something. LOL Danm80 4 months ago 8 correct. Never heard of a Henley Shirt or a Cable Knit Sweater! Philly 4 months ago 10 for 10, I live in northern New York state, -27 is our coldest morning so far this year. Nell 4 months ago 10 out of 10 ???? Mike 4 months ago 9/10. What the hell is a henley shirt Mike L 4 months ago Question 7: What no Russian style “Ushanka hat” ( similar to a State Trooper’s winter hat, or trapper’s hat for us folks up north). Ushanka style hats with thick fur on the front and large earflaps along the side ! Marie 4 months ago Easy peasy Dot 4 months ago I thought it was only me that thought this was too easy! I sold clothing for years so 10 out of 10! The “beanie/stocking cap thing” is a personal choice. Bill 4 months ago First time I think I ever got all 10 right, I’ve lived in Ohio for 71 years and everyone I know has called it a Beanie, stocking cap, for as long as I can remember:). Melinda C 4 months ago 9/10. I chose a vest for layering because it keeps my arms free for working outside, but whatever. I think the beanie might be a regional thing. I would have chosen stocking hat. Oh no 4 months ago Beanie…….NERD ALERT! shandahon 4 months ago 9/10….think I would survive a cold winter…..common sense….hahahahaha Cold as I.C.E. 4 months ago Gimme a shirt, pants, sweater, coat, scarf, skull cap, gloves, and appropriate shoes or boots. I don’t need to know the names for each. Toni 4 months ago 10/10 But, until the Find a Word the other day, I didn’t realize a Henley was a big winter fashion thing! I guess a stocking cap and a beanie are the same thing now. As I said before, I’m a California gal who only lived briefly anyplace that had temperatures below freezing other than the middle of the night. Julia 4 months ago Yeah, I got 10/10 that might be my first time. Martha 4 months ago 10 out of 10 – a first for me!! Growing up in the north and being a knitter helped!

Colleen 4 months ago 10 out of 10 Bob 4 months ago You got 10 out of 10!I guess I know more about winter clothing than I thought.
