[Svejk]

feint?

[Jovdb]

Svejk - I think that is it. Thank you.

[Jovdb]

Actually, I am pretty sure about the placement of the t, so that wouldn't fit. I may be wrong about the e.

[Svejk]

what was the clue/ans that gave the T, jov?

[Svejk]

^does that mean feint is right, jo?

[Jovdb]

The clue that gave the answer- you're right. I spelt it wrong. So feint is right. It seemed the right answer form the get go. Sorry. Now I'm done so thank you.

[scorpiojo]

It does, Svejk :o)

[Svejk]

I thought you weren't talking to me there for a while. ;o)
I'm glad that's all sorted, jov. ;)

[Jovdb]

Not at all. I was reworking the clue. I am new to cryptic crosswords and am trying to train my brain to think beyond the obvious answer and it doesn't always work :-)

[scorpiojo]

It's ok Jov, I think Svejk meant me :)

[Svejk]

yes jov, you see, normally when you ask jo a question, she answers it before you ask it. ;-)

[scorpiojo]

LOL ;o)
