Two Mistakes in This Backyard Wash Day: Answer

Did you get it right?

This 1950s backyard wash-day puzzle shows a metal wash tub, wringer washer, clothesline, clothespin bag, laundry basket, porch steps, and summer shadows. Two laundry details are too modern.

Two Mistakes in This Backyard Wash Day: Answer

The Answer

The correct answer is: The modern plastic dryer-sheet box flap partly hidden in the basket and the hook-and-loop strap on the clothespin bag are the two mistakes.

Here is why

  1. The clothesline, tub, wringer washer, basket, and porch details fit the 1950s wash-day scene.
  2. Check the laundry supplies instead of the woman and sheets.
  3. The dryer-sheet box flap and hook-and-loop strap are the modern clues.

Why people miss it

Laundry scenes are full of cloth folds, baskets, bags, and pale fabric, so small modern laundry-supply details can hide naturally.
