Friday Foxer #196

Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. All are welcome to participate.

Below is a list of ‘33 Things Wot You Might Find In Paraguay’ (‘things’ is used in its broadest possible sense). Entries have been stripped of vowels and have had any inter-word spaces repositioned*. For example, if ‘Jesuit missionary’ was present it might appear as JSTMS SNRY. Asunción would be SNCN.

* Apostrophes are ignored and hyphens are treated as spaces

In an attempt to ensure as many people as possible get a chance to participate, Roman requests individual defoxers offer no more than six answers on Day 1. (After 24 hours have elapsed, fill your boots!). If your initial six answers are correct and consecutive, give yourself a pat on the back.
