14 Ideas, suggestions. Anagram of 'a side'.

[Tilly2]

14d ideas

[fiction-factory]

Mabbe not- I recall seeing a similar suggestion but can't fully explain it

[eanceoil]

was it aside fiction factory, as in, what happens from the wing in a theater? the answer is ideas though

[fiction-factory]

No - ideas is is fine- I was withdrawing my own excellence suggestion but a couple of posts got in between mine

[scorpiojo]

I suggested excellence previously...because it fitted the given letters ;o)

[fiction-factory]

It fits the definition so you could have been right, scorpiojo. I can't see the wordplay yet though

[eanceoil]

I went with excellence earlier, I mis-read fiction factory's comment, I thought he was talking of aside - that's what I get for glancing and not reading the thread correctly

[fiction-factory]

Could you work out the wordplay for EXCELLENCE, eanceoil?
