Hi Winnie. If you have a Chambers 10th edition, which I am sure you have, could you please give me the ISBN number? Amazon have very few Chambers but Play.com have several but they do not say which edition but do give an ISBN number. Onwards and hopefully upwards with your clues!!

Hi haeremai18 re Chambers dictionary 10th edition
It's ISBN is 0-550-10185-3. Hope you can get one .
Neville Mizen - author of the quiz does state that this dictionary is the main ( but not sole) source of reference for definitions .
I'm sure we will be in touch some more.

Hi Winnie
I got same answer as you for 12, and applied the same logic to confirm 28 as kennelmaid. However, Palman thinks differently (see his note at 210). He's keeping us in suspense!

If you feel the answer is kennelmaid,dont let me put you off.

I thought no 98 was house cat ,thinking of house coat for dressing gown minus the O.

Hi again Winnie. Thanks for ISBN number. Have found a 2nd hand one for £13.21 + postage! Back to the clues you gave me earlier.
No.18. Makes no sense to me despite looking up beginning of R words? Any more clues?
No.37. Is this something HANG?
No.40. Still can't get the anagram as looked up Chambers Word Wizard & no anagram came up?
No.61. ??? Erach ... Cameh. Still stuck.
No.63. The game of pool is billiards - too long word & anyway it's nothing to do with dogs or cats ???
LAST PAGE: clues if you please?
81. I have gone into Connecticut to meet the perfume producer (5). No idea about this one.
92. ..... but elderly Tony, due more change, was blessed (3,11). Is this OLD. something?
94. Animals that caused an argument during church service (8). Does this begin L and end in S (breed of dogs)? Partly from church and service but not sure about the absence of letter L?
You must think me awfully thick!!!! Perhaps my Chambers 10th edition will help more next time round but in the meantime can you please help me to solve the remaining as above. Thanks.

Hi haeremai18.
Glad you have managed to get the dictionary - you really will find it a big help.
18. you will get this with the dictionary
61.anagram your letters of erach into a dog that hunts by scent
63. Oh very sorry gave you wrong clue !!!!
pool as in everyone putting some money in.
81. I have = ive
Connecticute abbreviation is ct
anagram to give a cat that secretes a musky fluid
92. elderly =old
and anagram 'tony due more '
94. word for an argument in the middle of a word for a church service.
Good Luck.

Hi haerenai18. I've decided I should give up giving hints to folk as I have sent you off on a wild goose chase with the hint I gave you for 37.
I should have said - after 'start to'- take the first letter of the next 6 words. The result means contemptible scoundrels.
So sorry.

Hi Winnie - no please don't give up helping us!!! Re your clues:
18. Ok will wait for dictionary!
37. Got it!
40. BIRDSEGGTEA - still can't get the anagram. Tried several sources?
61. anagram if ERACH = dog who hunts by scent. Again tried anagram thro several sources and all words given are not in dictionary?
63. Got it!
81. Got it!
92. Got it!
and finally no.94 .. Word for argument (row, disagreement, controversy, dispute etc) in middle of word for CHURCH SERVICE (communion, Eucharist, christening, wedding etc). Still no further on.
Help again please?????

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I don't have Chambers 10th edition so I desperately need an alternative clue to 18!
also would appreciate a hint for 1, 62, 71, 88 and 94 - down to the last 6 and going away soon so would like to finish and get it sent off!
