Have about 3/4 of the grid filled, but am no closer to enlightenment...could anyone give any hints for 6,7,18 and 22 down to give me a shove? Many thanks
What a struggle ! Have almost a complete grid but the extra letters not making much sense i'm afraid. Can anyone please confirm these :
UNCHECKEDBO?HN?IST?M?SFLOT?VS?LIRT?BL?R
Any hints gratefully accepted.
Thanks!
UNCHECKEDBO are correct, H&N are wrong, IS is correct; the remainder seem correct and do look like a random sequence, just find the correct place in the border to start filling the gaps.
Uncle_w, in isolation you will only make sense of UNCHECKED BO???? IS (you should be able to guess the second word here) the remaining letters must be injected in the gaps between the overhangs you should have in the grid. Note: your sequence ?BLAR give you 5 of the 9 letters of the author's name (in order) , this includes 2 initials, the other 4 are overhangs
If you're still stuck try guessing the 5 words (28 cells); you should notice one fairly long word in the bottom line which goes naturally with a normal entry (another of the 5 words is also a normal entry). Google the 5 words plus "quotation" and the quote should appear. Good luck!
