[Captain2]

1 Funny

[vakayu]

1 eerie?

[vakayu]

experience had 5 letters on other thread?

[Infomaniac]

It would be helpful if ou told us any letters you already have.

[vakayu]

Hi mallymac it would be easier if you would communicate with us to help solve your clues?

[rccatnap]

Without giving too much away, the three first words spoken out loud can sound like 'Free country'.
However, I agree that some of the clues leave a lot to be desired.
Come on mallymac, are you going to thank the others?

[factor-fiction]

On your other thread 3d had 5 letters and we suggested USAGE, SKILL, TRIAL EVENT,

You don't need to start a new thread if you want to add any thing- just reply to your own question. Details of known letters would definitely help.
Good luck

[Captain2]

I'm now thinking
1a (Weird) Freak
3d (Experienced) Known

[factor-fiction]

I assume 1a is WEIRD so freak is a possible, but I think eerie is a little better

[factor-fiction]

Or queer.

[elliemay1]

mallymac, please clarify the number of letters in No. 3!!!

[factor-fiction]

Looking at mallymac's previous posting history I am wondering whether isn't able to join in on her won threads -I recall some users have had this issue with older versions of IE

[factor-fiction]

That should have said OWN threads

Looking at mallymac's previous posting history I am wondering whether isn't able to join in on her own threads -I recall some users have had this issue with older versions of IE...because the SUBMIT button doesn't appear

[Captain2]

If we are having Forlorn for 1d, than 1a (Weird)(%) must begin with 'F'

(See also rccatnap post earlier)

[factor-fiction]

Someone said on another thread that the answer to 3d is KNOWN. (Can't work out why though unless clue is actually 'experienced' perhaps.)

[Captain2]

Factor
3d is experienceD and Known is the answer

[factor-fiction]

Thanks, captain. Bit of a wild goose chase this one
