Petite

[Hemingway]

Eye Crossword 759.

The answer to 23d must be petite, but apart from “slight”, I can’t see why?

[elliemay1]

Qn please?

[Captain2]

We can't see why either, without the clue! ;0)))

Welcome to AnswerBank though, Hemingway. But please be aware we need the full clues in order to help you, we don't all have the crossword(s).

petite can also mean slight

Clue ...

Number one covering up plonker's slight (6) Petite, slight.

- Pee, number one, with T*t, plonker, inside.

[Captain2]

Ta, NaC - they have a way with words at PE, don't they?

[Neveracrossword]

Captain2, yes, it's the most eloquently written crossword I've done all week.

Hemingway, I know you knew Petite was slight, i hope the rest of it works OK for you now?

[Hemingway]

Thanks y’all.

I finally worked this out then made the schoolboy error of trying to explain it to my wife…

The PE Crosswords are ridiculously satisfying.

Hemi ngway, thanks for the update - and I hope you'll give us a clue, literally, next time?

[Hemingway]

Yes - sorry…

This was my first posting. I’ll know nest time.

Thanks again, Hemingway. Lots of people on AB like helping with crosswords they don't ordinarily do, so they need the clues.
