8a PITHY

pertinent?

[Captain2]

Is this the full clue? It does help with cryptic crosswords

To the point where bed gets hardly empty (5)


PITHY

[donny48]

How does the full clue get shortened to three words ?

[Tilly2]

How irritating!

[dan19460]

Sorry I have a new tablet and pressed the wrong button. It is of course 8a To the point where bed gets hardly empty. I see the answer is pithy but don't follow other than "to the point".

[Baldric]

Thank you Dan, glad to have helped.

[Captain2]

Bed = PIT + HY = Hardly emptied ie no middle

[Toorak]

Pit (bed) with h(ardl)y

[donny48]

pbed= pit+hy ( hardly emptied no inside letters)

[dan19460]

Thanks everyone. Great answer! Sorry again for mucking up my original request! Still not really familiar with how this website really works! Cheers!

Hi dan- just keep typing in the box until all the info is there, then press the Ask button. If there is a key that makes questions submit before you are ready then please let the Ed know as quite a few seem to have a problem but no-one has worked out exactly where it's going wrong.
