I've just got number 63, so don't worry about that one.

Can you have "sound-alikes"?

37 Whine (Wine)

[Big Jenny]

That's very good, Lie-in King. I would never have worked that out ion a million years.

I have solved no.57 now, though.

[Big Jenny]

Not sure about sound-alikes. None of the others are, so I suspect not.

37 gripe

[Big Jenny]

Thank you all for your help.

Spitza, I can't find anywhere that says gripe is either a liquid or a gas. Gripe WATER is obviously a liquid, but the answer is only 5 letters. I am still puzzling over that one.
