Rosles I have put Cladding.

The 5 letter word being Cling (hang 0n!) around add (total) giving the 8 letter Cladding ?

[rosles]

thanks teacher thats brilliant

[teacher1]

Oops, should have been duck not dock.

[rosles]

ah i like cladding as its the five the letter word but where is the duck k?

[teacher1]

Still don't understand it myself ! Is there more to the clue?

[kayakamina]

rosles Am busy looking through reference books to clarify duck! In other respects my suggestion fits- the instructions said that the word from the first letter count (5) should include another word to give the second letter count (8)

The resulting answers do not always relate tothe clue ie 3d.
The separate words are duster and tyro making Duty Roster which is not defined.

[Dalek]

The duck is nil upwards in gc (Grand Canyon) upwards making cling - the additional word add

teacher1 - what does coalling mean? I cannot find such a word in an online dictionary!
