Are the letters definitely correct, Grumpee?
That's the 3rd time that letter pattern has been given.


Only word I can see is Napier
open would fit clue but only 4
Question Author
The N is from 5 down Rough dog breeder aint worried in preliminary event - CurtaiN raiser.
the P from 6 down old liberal leader doesn;t need chance to drink Egg fliP
The E from 15 d Witty saying exalts first animal male one E pigram
Does your 6d read like that? or should it be

Old Liberal leader doesn't need chlorine to switch drink (3,4)
Thanks, Grumpee.
i still make it egg flip captain
Question Author
sorry it should be Old Liberal leader doesn't need chlorine to switch drink (3,4)
Yes, I agree, ael. Leaves a bit of a puzzle then.

(I'm off for my FD's treat now, will look in later).
A female swan is a pen so nipped .napped but ? What .
Might they have posted the wrong clue as that one definitely suggests O pen as the answer?
It seems a bit strange as 16a Is Nothing for writer allowing access which answer is open .
Maybe an error ,
From that word pattern:
NAPAEA
NAPIER
NAPLES
NAPPED
NAPPER
NAPPES
NEPHEW
NEPMEN
NIPPED
NIPPER
NIPTER

No help at all, sorry.
I am stuck on this too and have the same letters as the author. Are we any further forward?
IMO, it's an error so I wouldn't spend any more time on it
I know we can only guess an answer for this clue but can someone please explain how they reach EGG FLIP - much appreciated. Thankyou
Liberal leader - clegg
Without cl (chlorine) - egg
Switch - Flip
Thank you Chelle - mystery solved xx
