2d) D with curved line drawn downwards to end in t. (6) e?a?t

[factor-fiction]

Is there a theme to the answers? Music theme?

[Desktopped]

sorry the word begins with a D there is a curced line then drawn downwards to end in t. so its (6 letters) D?e?a?t

[factor-fiction]

Is that the wording of the clue or is it some form of picture ditloid you are describing?
Is the "end in t" part of the clue?

WOrds that fit are EXACT, ENACT, EXALT, EPACT

[Sparkles62]

Have you missed a letter, you say (6) but e?a?t is only 5.

[factor-fiction]

So it's a picture you are describing and it has 6 letters D?E?A?T
Depart?

[factor-fiction]

Ignore my pattern.
Depart- part of the letter D?

[Baldric]

Say 6 show 5

second try shows 7 ?

[factor-fiction]

It's all very confusing but reading between the lines I think DEPART will be right.
It helps to separate the description of the clue from your explanation of the letter pattern- I thought the reference to T was part of the clue/image

[Desktopped]

Sorry im not describing this too well its:
the answer starts with D there are 6 letters in the answer. DE?A?T

The clue has a capital D then a black line drawn downwards to the letter t. I presume the answer therefore starts with a D and ends in t.

[Baldric]

Letter pattern?
You have shown,
E?A?T (5) & D?E?A?T (7)
so far.

[factor-fiction]

It's still DEPART- sounds like D Part. I'm assuming the line points to part of the letter D.

Crossed posts ^^^^

[factor-fiction]

Sorry- having read you latest description, if the T is part of the image then I can't justify DEPART

[Desktopped]

thank you sorry for all the confusion

[Baldric]

Welcome to AB,good user name by the way, What Paper/Mag. is it in?

[Desktopped]

It's RTE Guide (Irish Magazine)

[factor-fiction]

Did you settle for DEPART, desktopped?

[OMO55]

Could it be DECANT? the image looks like the flow of wine
from a jug or is that just wishful thinking on my part!!

[factor-fiction]

Decant is a better answer
