During the Late Period and Ptolemaic times mongooses were represented in bronze statuettes such as this one, standing, forepaws raised, atop small bronze boxes. The pose of raised paws signifies the animal's adoration of the sun god when he rises in the morning. Some scholars have identified these animals as otters rather than mongooses.

In myth, mongooses were particularly attached to the goddess of Lower Egypt Wadjet, whose cult was centered in Buto, in the northern Delta.

I compared all 15,920 words in my wordbase used as winning words with the same words used as starting words, and RATES is good. It ranked 6th in one of the modes.

RATES - the averages for all games: 🟩 12.55% + 🟨 23.35% = 35.90%

The first place went to:

TARES - 🟩 13.89% + 🟨 22.02% = 35.90%

And max green to:
SANES -🟩14.55% + 🟨15.95% = 30.49%
