jno

could even be bouncers, I suppose, as in cricket.

dannyk13

jno, is there a silent letter in bouncers?

THECORBYLOON

The quiz is about words containing silent letters but in "bouncing" they are all pronounced.

THECORBYLOON

Sorry, "bouncers"

Prudie

Have you changed your mind on this one danny? - I've seen you put ricochet several times to this question.

Dickiedot

you're right Ael lots of alternative spellings Twm sion cati would seem to be correct the crossword accepts only twm shon catti grrr

Chloe55

Getting back to the original question - I would put 'Ricochet'.

cashier

I would go for ricochet.

dannyk13

Prudie, yes, after looking at the link the bomb bounces rather than ricochets.

Prudie

When will the answers be known to this quiz - if it all - I've seen so much discussion on some clues, especially this dambuster one that I would love to know?

Thank you all, I'm inclined to go with dannyk13's idea. Normally with these Rainbow quizzes when you get an answer you 'know' it's right or wrong!

aelmpvw

it wouldn't surprise me if it was a setter's error and the answer was bouncing bombs ...

Dickiedot

Apologies for interrupting your musings ;-(

sorry, I knew nothing of the requirement for a silent letter. I don't think ricochet is the right word though.
