Hi can anyone help with this clue .... the answer is supposed to reveal a conclusion I have the answer as MITTEN but I can not solve the connection .

First read of the OP rang alarm bells, I only joined in to up my post-count, lol

[squarebear]

lol, this place gets dafter!

OK SB that made sense - so the highlighted boxes if correct will have given the letters MITTEN.
Actually if the letters were NITTEN then rearranged gives INTENT (which is a conclusion)

[squarebear]

That will be it. However, Shaley is 100% sure that the letters are correct and seems to have vanished now anyway.

OK, well it can't be that deep, it is Best magazine.

I'm going to have a free read of this magazine in Tesco tomorrow and check it out, to see if the full clue is really "reveal a conclusion".

Had a quick look when buying my "People;s Friend" Mitten is the shaded word so that's the answer. Don't know why it says .......to reveal a CONCLUSION misleading choice of word.Hope you win the £50, shaley.

Yes it seems to be badly translated English. I had a free look earlier and it says, "fill in the missing squares to reveal a conclusion". I think it just means fill them in to reveal an answer.
