3d Contend

[Captain2]

sorry can't count

[Mamyalynne]

I've lost the plot

it says

24a shyness ?o???s?

[Mamyalynne]

think we are all a bit confused

[mountainlass]

poseuse does anyone know what that means it comes up on my crossword solver

[Captain2]

mountainlass, lets#s assume 24a is 'coyness', so now tell us the letter pattern for

3d Be against

[margarettom]

Be against could be contest which fits.

[Captain2]

But 'oppose' was suggested and rejected and that's (6) - contest is (7)

[margarettom]

I was looking at ?o???s? As that's the first part of the clue, so
.o??s? Is the shyness

[mountainlass]

every one thank you all for your time according to the dictionary
the answer is poseuse means a girl being something there not so i assume thats the answer to shyness thank again

[Mamyalynne]

poseuse
pəʊˈzəːz/Submit
nounhumorous
a female poser.


I rather doubt that's the answer.

[Captain2]

Can't see it being that, but until we have a definite letter pattern and count ........
