Totally stumped on these so any help appreciated

1. 17 L in a F
2. 10 M L in the N of a R
3. 13 R on the B S
4. 3 T T D
5. 5 T F F
6. 13 the R T in C

5 = ten from fifteen

[smouse]

Thanks for that
2 - I want to put minimum or maximum letters in the name of a ??

[squarebear]

Yes I was thinking that too but couldn't think what R could be. I thought it may be "racehorse" but that appears to be 18 letters.

[squarebear]

I believe a hurricance is 13 on the Beaufort Scale but can't see what R could be.

[smouse]

should have said I'd tried the racehorse

will see if I can make anything fit for the beaufort scale now

of course 17 I want to be lines in a ?

and did wonder if the first T in number 4 was three cos one of the others was 2 T L B as in two little boys
