The task involves identifying common English sayings or expressions based on the clues provided in each box. Let's analyze each box step by step:
---
Box 1:
-
Clues:
- "BIRD"
- "$0 all all all all"
- "Jack"
- "STAR"
-
Solution:
- "BIRD" + "Jack" =
Bird in hand (a saying meaning something you currently have and can rely on).
- "$0 all all all all" suggests "nothing," which aligns with the phrase
"bird in hand is worth two in the bush."
- "STAR" doesn't directly contribute to the saying but might be a visual clue.
-
Answer: Bird in hand is worth two in the bush

"you're up against it."
- "FACED FACED" reinforces the idea of being faced with a challenge.
- "thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks" suggests repeated gratitude, which doesn't directly fit but might be a red herring.
