defrock?

 

[RogerS]

No..both wrong ..

 

[devonwoody]

??cloth

 

[RogerS]

dw..no.

 

[devonwoody]

So give us some letters you twisted cleric

 

[RogerS]

remember that clues usually have an indication of the answer at either the beginning or the end.

Words in clues are also often chosen to mislead because they can be pronounced differently. A word can be spelt the same but have a totally different meaning. A noun as a verb and vice versa, for example.

That should help.

 

[devonwoody]

dustman

 

[RogerS]

How do you get dustman, dw?

Anyway, it's wrong :wink:

 

[devonwoody]

refuse could be dust, and cleric could be man.

But any letters already in place would have told me differently.

 

[RogerS]

I see where you're coming from but you're missing picking up on the other words in the clue. In most crossword clues, most (ideally all) the words are involved.

OK..last letter is H

 

[CHJ]

sackcloth (7 ) hit the wrong number key. got the wrong matrix



ans: Hessian

 

[RogerS]

Bathrobe ?

Wardrobe?

Wineskin?

I got Roger's in about 10 seconds :smug: , but Chas has me stumped.

My two favourite recent ones have been

1. Tell-tale weapon ( 8 )

2. Old professor declared to have bought toys by mistake (7)

S

Come on then what's the answer to Rogers you smug git :wink:

And to show how thick I am, I thought that Chas's was the answer to Rogers. You know "Sack" as in losing work. Man of the cloth. Refusing to wear the Sackcloth in penance :lol:

Yes you do not need to tell me, I'm as thick as ****, but I never do crosswords :roll:

Cheers

OK, I'll do them in "invisible Ink" so you'll have to highlight them to see the answer.

Roger's is "Rubbish". Rub = Wear, Op is short for Opus which means Work, so a Bishop without Work is Bish.

Mine:
1. "Crossbow" - the Tale of William Tell.....

2. "Spooner". It's not that he bought toys, he taught boys!

Cheers
Steve

 

[devonwoody]

[RogerS]

Cheers Mike...It's much easier to set them. I couldn't work out Steve's.

Cheers

Roger

 

[Steve Maskery]

So what is Chas's then?

[devonwoody]

I think messiah could fit if other letters match.
