The theme did give things away today with its “quint-essential” pun, although I did initially think we may be looking for five-letter words rather than things there are five of.

SENSES, meanwhile, automatically made me think of the movie The Sixth Sense. OCEANS and VOWELS I got from thinking of other famous five things, but I don’t think I would have ever arrived at TOES or WEEKDAYS.
My favourite thing featuring five things is the Olympic Rings, which seeing as the Winter games start tomorrow would have been a nice touch – but difficult to fit in.
