Very pretty!

If they're going to be short I at least like them to be difficult, like this one. The puzzles have been really varied and fun lately (and although people complain about them, I LOVE the huge crazy ones).

An Artichoke - ‘hard to get to the heart’ of it.

CuriousSloth516112 May 2026 at 9:39 PM

*Forgot to add that the artichoke is a domesticated variety of thistle. 😎

I saw a nice short ne and thought Yes! One I can do quickly. But nooooooo - WHAT a bear!!! (Do we have a bear in the house?)

Got a percent in the 90s but it took me 20 min

Was gonna say, what's with all the shorties?! But man, this little bugger gave me trouble.84%!

Thistle!

Quiet chinchilla is my 3rd cousin twice removed. There was some family drama there when my LoudChinchilla uncle was being too loud one day. Which is funny because chinchillas are usually pretty quiet. Unless you put a tasty artichoke treat in front of him, then he might get too excited for the snick snack. Maybe that’s what happened to my uncle

Thanks for the family tree 😁 I love the whole chinchilla family. Though apparently I’m a mere unacceptable ant. These comments make my day 🥰🐜

EliteGrizzly70812 May 2026 at 9:29 PM

Thanks for clarifying ElectricalChinchilla 😊

ExcellentBee85912 May 2026 at 5:27 AM

I love the puzzles and I love you guys' banter. Thanks for being the best part of my day.

EliteGrizzly70812 May 2026 at 7:17 AM

Same for me ExcellentBee

I DO think it means the artichoke heart is hard to get to, and it IS an artichoke plant. And I bet QuietChinchilla never answers your question about being related to ElectricalChinchilla, because QuietChinchilla...is too quiet. ElectricalChinchilla is Wild! Probably siblings! 😆

EliteGrizzly70812 May 2026 at 6:25 AM

Yes, RelaxedLadybug, I think you are right. I trust you have had a relaxing time doing Nodes today 😊

CheerfulSalmon81512 May 2026 at 3:46 AM

I agree that it is an artichoke. lovely colors!

TacticalMoose74412 May 2026 at 1:09 AM

Maybe a spikey thistle?

CoolPtarmigan92812 May 2026 at 12:15 AM

I think it’s a rare flower

PurpleCicada81111 May 2026 at 11:37 PM

I think it's an artichoke. if it is, the best bit - the heart - is surrounded by thorny leaves.

QuietChinchilla98911 May 2026 at 10:22 PM

Perhaps I am slow, but I don't understand what the title and the picture have in common. Any thoughts?

EliteGrizzly70811 May 2026 at 10:26 PM

Mmm, I'm not sure either QuietChinchilla. BTW, are you related to ElectricChincilla?
