Welcome to AnswerBank Meg. If you give us the clues and letter count we should be able to help

[Baldric]

Remember: Not everyone will have a copy of the crossword in front of them, so please write the clue EXACTLY as it appears, the number of letters required and which (if any) you already know e.g.

Mamya I was referring to your humorous answer@ 16.07.

[Magicmeg]

Thank you for your answers. i have done this Everyman crossword for years but have been really lost trying to solve the last three puzzles.
I'm thinking of giving up.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh don't give up, we all have off days and always sure to get a good hint or two here.


SirO - Humorous answer?? ;-)

I am with you on that one. I used to be able to do a quarter to three quarters without any help now lucky if I get one answer!
