It may be best if you look on the site and see if there is one from last year to look at
Basically you have to work out where the clues are split to find each word
Hard to explain really.

Agree with smouse. Look at the examples on page 1 and it may help you understand how the clues have to be split up in order to arrive at the answers. It would also help if you can make sense of the "theme".

[gen2]

There is an example in the preamble that divides the clue into three parts, one for each word in the answer. You have to do the same with with each of the 40 clues given.

For example, look at the first clue:

Towards the end of the week I fancied a walk in London.

That divides up as:

Towards the end of the week / I fancied / a walk in London.

So: 'Towards the end of the week' = - - - d a y (Monday, Friday or Sunday)

and: 'I fancied ' = - - - g i n - - (could that be a figment of my imagination?)

and finally: 'a walk in London' = - - - d c a - - ( would that be somewhere near St. James� Park and part of the London Marathon route?


Solving the theme and getting the pattern of answers will help you with the initial letter of each answer.

If anyone else is interested, it is available for download from http://www.christmaspuzzle.co.uk

when the letters of each bird's name are connected as suggested on a 40 by 3 grid, they form a pictorial representation. Hope this helps!
