fall guy?

[Four Clubs]

Thank you sandyRoe, but I still cannot think of a herb (6ltrs) o?i?(u)?
Any thoughts, please. Four Clubs

[sandyRoe]

[Four Clubs]

Thank you sandyRoe - I can now start on the Saturday papers. I have never heard of ocimum. Four Clubs

[sandyRoe]

Nor had I. I put the 3 letters you had here and it threw up the answer

I thought I had checked this site but must have missed it. The only problem I have now is that fall guy doesn't fit with Support (8ltrs) - I have put buttress which gives me the ?a?s-?u?. Is it something mug? Must have gone wrong somewhere! Many thanks. Four Clubs

If it's the verb Dupe, rather than a noun, it could be Pass Off (i.e. to pass something off as genuine, etc). What gives you the U in the second word?

[Four Clubs]

I had originally thought of Pass Off but when sandyRoe came up with ocimum for "herb" that gives me the "u". Four Clubs.

[scorpiojo]

What letters do you have for support?

[Four Clubs]

I have b?t?r??? The b comes from break (shatter 5ltrs) the t from outcome (result 7ltrs) and the r from raise (lift 5ltrs). Four Clubs

[scorpiojo]

Stumped.

Can anyone help?

[Four Clubs]

I have just come across gull as being another word for dupe, but can't find another word to go before it!! Four Clubs.

Dupe - Cat's paw

[dannyk13]

Could support be -Bankroll

[Four Clubs]

Thank you dannyk13. The only problem is that cats paw throws a lot of other answers out. I will keep searching. It must be something I have put in incorrectly but can't see it at the moment. Four Clubs
