Good morning friends! Hope this week's offering is not too easy. Happy solving.

I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT+1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Marvellous! I got shut of sculpture (3,2,5)
2. He smears fillings with soybeans and millet, preferring double-centres (8)
3. Amplify its sound level (4)
4. Instructor in diagnostics from ENT or X-ray department... (6)
5. ...to be finished with a spinal examination? (3,3,4,2)

Out of sight? (anag)
Libeller? (middle two letters)
Raze? (double meaning – raise)
Mentor? (in clue)
See the back of?

Hi Jolan

Good fun as always. I particularly liked Libeller- very clever clue construction. Have you never fancied having a go at this professionally?

1- Out of sight- anagram of I got shut of- definition marvellous
2- Libeller- middle 2 letters of fillings soybeans millet and preferring- definition he smears
3- Raze- Raise is a synonym for amplify and it sounds like raze as in level to the ground
4- Mentor- hidden in words from ENT or X-ray- definition instructor
5- See the back of- play on words


Look forward to next week.

Thanks

DJA

Thanks for another set of clever clues. I don't suppose you have any way of knowing how many people participate each week, but I do hope you think it is worthwhile.

Hello Jolan,
Long time no speak.


1. out of sight.
2. butterer.
3. raze.
4. mentor.
5. see the back of.

I only got two:-(

1. OUT OF SIGHT (marvellous/out of this world = out of sight)

5. SEE THE BACK OF

Hi Jolan,
Sorry if I'm posting a wee bit early, but I'm so "pumped-up" I can barely hold me water...
1 OUT OF SIGHT anagram of I got shut of
2 LIBELLER "double -centres" of filLIings, soyBEans, miLLet and prefERring
3 RAZE to level, sounds like raise
4 MENTOR froM ENT OR xray
5 SEE THE BACK OF pun on finished/spinal exam

I await with baited breath (and crossed legs)
TR

Ah.OK. Mind you I still quite like butterer.

Couldn't get 2. Good clues again.

Looks like this has developed into a competition within a competition - who can be the first to post on the stroke of 5 o'clock!

In that case Peter M- Tony is the winner as me and AB seem to have posted at 16:59- although my computer did say 17:00
