Destroy Willie!
Level:  Junior Detective

Unlike the Hangman game where you are penalized for a wrong answer, our HangHyacinth rewards you for a right answer by taking away a part of Willie.  If you can't get rid of Willie in 10 guesses, the game will be over. There are several questions so be sure to click on New Word to try different ones.

If you need help answering these questions, read the Water Hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes (University of Florida, IFAS, Center for Aquatic Plants) and the Water Hyacinth Rap Sheet on Meet the Suspects page to answer the following questions.
