2 looks ok, so does 4

[cashier]

1 Parlour?

[bobbinwales]

parlour looks good- parlou(s)+r

[bobbinwales]

Am not convinced yet by 'panted'

[bobbinwales]

3 march as a long shot if march can = strike?

[bobbinwales]

or pound?

[dannyk13]

Bob, could be one of many answers that would fit.We need the list of letters that is missing.

[bobbinwales]

Whatever the total list of letters is I cant think of any never mind MANY other answers that could fit the clue "3 Strike tramp (5)" danny

[bobbinwales]

But yeah the letters would certainly help overal and would help clarify whether panted is right or wrong

[dannyk13]

stamp stomp clomp tread Etc.

[dannyk13]

LIke you I don't think panted fits delight.

[bobbinwales]

okay wouldnt of thought of some of those as meaning strike aswell but we;ll have to wait and see if the letters turn up. Do you agree with panted?
Am struggling to see a link between the ones that look right- parlour (beauty/games?), noise, carolina

[cashier]

5 For panted to work the clue should read delighted not delight.

[bobbinwales]

Is the clue right danny? wonder if it was 'delighted' but still not sur panted would work.

[bobbinwales]

can see a possible link to colours- Carolina blue, white noise, green pound but I think it has to be a single word link?

[dannyk13]

I don't seehow panted would fit delighted'

[dannyk13]

Bob, as I said, we need the missing list of letters.

[bobbinwales]

Do you have the competition on your screen danny? Am wondering if the clue for 3 is exactly right, maybe abits missing

[bobbinwales]

^ sorry meant clue 5

[ProfessorMaisie]

PINK fits the known answers.
