Rainbow Quiz It's Time For T

[jenniferd]

I have an answer for 74 & 90 but not sure about them.
74. Soldier means to turn traitor twice (6,3) My first word begins with D and second word R
90. An artist, but not one producing great works of art (11)
My word begins with M and ends with T

Do Quizzers and Puzzlers think I am right and if not clues would be appreciated. THanks

[Mamyalynne]

I think you are right.

[Neveracrossword]

74 Your answer sounds right, both of those words fit with 'turn traitor'.

90 Seems right too, if your answer involves the direct opposite of great, large...

[elliemay1]

yes to both

[jenniferd]

Thank you.

[elliemay1]

Have you decided on an answer to No.97 yet?

[jenniferd]

Hi elliemay1. I have 2 more Qs to work out i.e. 88 & 93.
Regarding 97 I haven't found anything better than begin with E & end with T. Even though the old housing was for dead bodies!!

74,A jerboa will lead you to the answer.

[elliemay1]

Thanks jennifer

[jenniferd]

Thanks dannyk13. Think it probably confirms it.

88 Anagram of one word
93 Double definition - a 10 letter word beginning with D and ending in T

[jenniferd]

Thankyou jj109. Have now got 88. Usually look for anagrams but didn't with this question.
re 93. There's only about 35 10 letter words beginning with d and ending with T none of which has seemed aloof so far!!

[elliemay1]

Put 'aloofness' in Thesaurus.com and you'll find it

[jenniferd]

Thanks elliemay1. Got it. It gave me a list of synonyms which were no help. Then saw the noun in small print and the answer was obvious!!!!
Particularly as it's a unit of troops.

Really hoping that Mamyalynne or Lie-in-King can sort out an answer for 97 that nobody has come up with so far. I think this quiz is easier than usual but having done 99 of the clues within a week or so (and pretty confident about the answers) I have never been stuck on one for so long. Not happy with either of the answers suggested so far!

[Mamyalynne]

Nice of you to place faith in my solving abilities but I have nothing to offer other than the two main contenders for 97 that have already been discussed.

[Maxymax464]

Thanks Mamyalynne. I don't think I have ever known you stumped for an answer so I reckon it must be one of those two unsatisfactory answers!

[Mamyalynne]

Oh, I've been stumped and also send quizzes in with blanks too - though this year has been quite a good one in the success stakes.

Almost certain that this clue is the decider in this one.

We'll have to make decision eventually.

[Maxymax464]

Yes absolutely! I take it out of my desk drawer every day just hoping I (or somebody else!) will have a brainwave! Still waiting!
