Dt- Quick 7Ac And/or 3 Down

[suffolklady]

Clue is 'Of colour, subtle' (6 letters). I have pastel but, if that is correct then 'nursery' for 3 down, doesn't work. Help!! Thanks

No...nuance doesn't work. It has to be ?a?t??

clue for 3 down ?

[Newgirlonthebloc]

Why do you want to out nursery for 3d? The clue is first-class mot giest class

[bert_h]

what about PRIMARY instead of NURSERY?

[dannyk13]

Pastel
3d.Classic

[Newgirlonthebloc]

That should read "not first class"

[suffolklady]

None of these work! I only used 'nursery' for 'first-class' because someone else suggested it. 3dn clue is: "first-class", 7 letters. ? ? ? s ? r ?

7ac clue is 'Of colour, subtle' (6 letters) ? a ? t ? ?
I originally had 'pastel' as the answer.

Hi Danny

That sounds good but, if the answer to 3dn is 'classic', then the answer for 11ac 'Nourish' 7 letters cannot be 'nurture' which is what I have!

[Mamyalynne]

Where is the 'r' from that prevents 'classic' as given by Danny

[Mamyalynne]

crossed sorry

Sustain ?

[suffolklady]

That's ok. I'm getting confused myself!

[dannyk13]

Sustain is correct

[suffolklady]

Mamyalynne and Danny....I think you have cracked it!! Thanks so much to you and to everyone else for your efforts.

Danny did the hard work.
