It's an old nursery rhyme. I thought it was kind of a silly theme because you either know it and it takes like 2 mins, or you've never heard of it and you're never gonna get that long word in a million years.

Wow yeah I was vaguely aware of the existence of this nursery rhyme, but never actually heard it before. Shoulda googled it before posting lmao

Would it have been cheating for me to google the nursery rhyme before attempting the puzzle? It's basically an answer sheet. I think I'd have felt worse getting a perfect score like that than I did getting an awful score blindly
