Starting a new thread,

Having difficulty with unclueds.

3D suggests a Disney character. But that suffix does not seem to work with other down unclueds. No idea what 1D is.

For across clues 35a can be given a Y at the end. So suffix could be ier OR iest. Does not work with all across unclueds.
Any hint?

Hi hankr. I haven't got an answer for you but as you are ahead of me you may have an answer for me! The answer to 4a would be much appreciated. All I have at the moment is ST???????

Farrwest,
17 D is a person whose friend cut his hair.
He was a 4a before he became weak.
It ends in N.

[Neveracrossword]

3 D works exactly the same as the other down unclued answers.

I don't know what you mean about 35 A - the suffix isn't either of those!

[Neveracrossword]

Hankir, remember that there are three words in 1D.

[Neveracrossword]

Sorry, Hankir , I seem to be doing this in fits and starts - by the sound of things, you have the right answer for 3 D.

[hankir]

Farrwest, for pieces think board game.

[hankir]

Thanks Nac.
3D has a 4 letter suffix, it works with 32d.
I am assuming that the same suffix has to be appended to all down clues. If so, I have not found any for 7d etc.

Also a different suffix has to be appended to all across clues.

Am I wrong?

[Neveracrossword]

Hankir, the same suffix works for all of the Downs, then there's another suffix for all the Across entries. If you've got one suffix, and I think you have, think of another that would fit with the title.
