Reveal the answer
Forecast Frenzy (Name 5 different weather events) — Rain, Snow, Hail, Sleet, Thunderstorm, Lightning, Tornado, Hurricane, Blizzard, Fog, Frost, Heatwave, Cold Wave, Dust Storm, Ice Storm, Freezing Rain, Drizzle, Snow Squall, Waterspout, Graupel, Rainbow, Dew, Windstorm, Diamond Dust | Land at the End (Name any 5 countries whose names end in 'land') — Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Poland, Thailand, Switzerland, Netherlands, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Greenland, Åland | Grounded Birds (Name 5 types of birds that cannot fly) — Ostrich, Emu, Penguin, Kiwi, Cassowary, Rhea, Kakapo, Takahe, Weka, Flightless Cormorant, Inaccessible Island Rail, Lord Howe Woodhen, Tasmanian Native Hen, Auckland Island Teal, Campbell Island Teal, Falkland Steamer Duck, Titicaca Grebe, Junin Grebe, Guam Rail, Gough Moorhen, Henderson Crake, Dodo, Great Auk, Moa
Why this is the answer (spoilers)
A softer trio after the exact-list era. Forecast Frenzy accepts any 24 weather events, so staples like Rain, Snow and Thunderstorm clear the round early, while Sleet or Fog rescue a stalled board. Land at the End is tighter than it looks: only 13 country names end in 'land', and remembering Switzerland and the Netherlands matters. Grounded Birds is the friendliest of the three, with 24 flightless birds on file; beyond the Ostrich, Emu and Penguin, the list digs into rails like the Weka and Takahe plus the Kakapo parrot, so bird knowledge past the famous three pays off.
