I have emailed the setter qerying Dark tool and the letter count. Am awaiting a reply.

[roopower]

Setter has got back to me, 20, Dark tool should be 9 letters, not 8

[wm333]

Thanks to all who contributed answers. Always disappointing to find proof reading has missed a wrong number of letters in one of the clues.

Mistakes happen,wm, sometimes you read what you think is there rather than what actually is. Very unusual for this setter to make an error.

Does anybody play solitaire here?

I'm actually a great fan of it. You know, online card games are actually a great opportunity to kill some time. Tbh, I actually can hardly understand what you're talking about here, guys. I really enjoy playing https://online-solitaire.com/spider-solitaire, and you? I often play it late in the evening when I finish all of my work. That's such a pleasure for me. I also love playing it with my girlfriend, she's a good competitor. Btw, I'd really like to know what you are talking about here, 'cause I have no idea what game you played. I'd really like to participate. TIA for your reply

The game, for me, sounds a bit confusing. Could you please clarify the rules a bit?

I couldn't resist joining in on this card game quiz fun! Let's see if my guesses align with yours:
"You can play a tune on these (6)": I'm thinking Trumps?
"Rate (5)": Poker, maybe?
"Feign (5)": That sounds like Bluff to me!
"Dark tool (8)": Could it be Blackjack?
Now, speaking of card games, I've got a little personal story to share. I recently stumbled upon https://worldofcardgames.com/gin-rummy and got completely obsessed with it. It's one of those games that you can't get enough of once you start playing.
So, whether you're cracking these card game riddles or diving into a game of gin rummy, enjoy the fun and the thrill of the cards.
