How do you choose between two delicious food items, differentiated by only one letter that are both more or less equally popular? Unable to choose, for once, I picked the first word on the list.

Both are French words - another similarity - and they sounded way too familiar to me.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 [SUNNY] most probable

It was difficult to choose between BUNNY and SUNNY. I might have been tempted by the cute animal with the rare letter B, but in the end, I thought the cold weather in North America might have more influence on dreams of sunny days. This is as much scientific as my explanation can get!
