One last question re 88. Would you go with the UK spelling with "S" rather than the US spelling with "Z"? Chambers directs one from S to Z.

Another spelling query. Just filling in my form to send off and came to No 95. The word beginning with R - is it the noise or the sports item? What is the general opinion? I have the noise it not quite so sure now. Please let me know your thoughts - thanks

95 - according to Chambers, ck will do for both.

Yes I think ck goes better with the clue and wouldn't the alternative have 7 letters? Can somebody put me out of my misery with 79....the very last one? There must be something I just am not seeing. Is the answer grounds and if so why? Thanks Twinsman for the pointers for 88 although you probably not on line now you've finished. Congratulations .

Felicity 79 first part of the word is part of the foot...second part with 3 letters is a type of dancing, shoes worn for it make a bit of a noise. Hope that helps without giving the whole thing away completely

32. Type of dog, an indicator
72. Another word for digits of hands
Still useless with 78,79,86,87,88 and 89.
If we think solving is hard work, round of applause for the SETTER!

My pleasure felicity. Many others have saved my sanity as well on this wonderfully tricky quiz. It is nice to go to bed and actually sleep at night although now I have noticed piles of ironing, dust collected here and there and had to go into the attic and deal with mice this morning!! The world has been going on around me while I've been quizzing. Thanks all and I look forward to next Spring.
