[golddust5]

R?C ? L? last one. Thanks in advance.

[bobbinwales]

was there a clue 23?

[golddust5]

The answer to 23D RTE Guide X word is Riddle .

[Baldric]

So we're looking for an answer with a 3-1-2 letter pattern, yes?

[bobbinwales]

If its just a plain and simple 6 letters then Riddle nearly fits here to apart from your C

[cashier]

Did 23d have a clue?

[elliemay1]

cashier, ''(That's The Clue )''

[bobbinwales]

Am confused. Dont know what the clue number is we'er trying to solve but a thought the clue was "23D". Are you saying the clue is "that's the clue" ellimay1?

[Mamyalynne]

I agree with Ellie

I think the clue reads like this.

23d (That's the clue) 6

[bobbinwales]

ok ta. But goldudt said the answer to 23d was Riddle. So am still confused. (Dosn't take much)

Agree with Elliemay and Mamya. I think if golddust15, at 20.09 had said
' The answer is 'riddle' (my 'C' in initial letter pattern was incorrect)'

it would have been clearer.

[Captain2]

bob, whilst you are on (and I know we don't pick up on grammatical errors on AB, but) why do you always use 'a' when you mean 'I'? (just curious). :))

[bobbinwales]

Aye aye captain, a think your right with riddle. Its certainly been a riddle to me.

[golddust5]

Thanks for all input to 23D. To recap the clue is : Cryptic Question and the ans appears is Riddle going by the letters from other clues.

[bobbinwales]

Ok it confused me and your clue now thats diffrent to the clue in your title and diffrent to the clue others said it is, so its a riddle allright

[Mamyalynne]

The best way to have written that would have been.
