TRICOPHAGE

Here are my guesses. I used to play this with my Sunday School classes. High schoolers would gasp in horror when I said, “We’ll start with a test!” and then I’d put up a selection of words and ask them to pick out the “real” ones.

Crumbs Tax-chick that was pretty good going, nice work!

I might have given the right answers out too early, if so sorry to all.

The ‘fake’ words were mix-and match- words which owe a lot to moth taxonomy.

Weirdly enough - ‘Frustulum’ is not only used for “the breakfast meal on a Fast day” but also forms part of the latin name for some species of moth. Perhaps they don’t eat much in the morning :0)
