re post 5, I take it the welsh dresser reference is to q63. I've learnt elsewhere that its 'dd' plus 2 of the words in the clue to give an anagram of a type of welsh dresser. There are only 2 words in the clue with 3 letters but nothing comes up with them and 'dd' in any anagram solver. Being based in Wales with 3 kids speaking Welsh I feel I should get this but am still stuck. Any further clues please or advice where my train of thought above might be wrong.

Sorry! just realised that 'welsh dressers' was an answer to q42. I'd still appreciate the help requested for q63 where info obtained also suggests answer is a type of welsh dresser

Stand down; finally got it. originally misled as to the composition of the words to be anagrammed.

Am I right in thinking that at Q25 the answer is an anagram of 'nicerugone'? Try as I might - and I admit to using anagram solvers - I can't get anything to mean a corner cupboard. Similarly, I sense an angram at Q27 (probably with 'x' for 'ten') but all combinations of possible words in the clue don't raise a recognisable word. Any re-direction of my thought processes on either (or both) would be welcome, please.

Hi Quidnunc, are you sure you are asking about question 25? If so, where did you get nicerugone from? The answer to 25 is that "ulster" is the name of a piece of clothing and the second work is where you would put it, if that helps.

No. 27 is an anagram of "girls" and "ten"

It's Q 55, and yes it's an anagram of "nicerugone".

This anagram solver is the best one I know:

I see campanilla beat me to it with the other one.

Thanks for above and apologies for error re-numbering. Wasn't sure if anyone would read this as I've come across several other Crossword Solver sites debating this quiz without knowing of any cross index to them. I found confirmation therein that the 3 words were the ones to be worked on so tried a new anagram solver and got the answer. I'll also turn anew, as suggested, to 27. Only problem with this site is the difficult questions one has to answer to prove not being a robot. I fear I'll fail one soon!

Phew, just made it in again! I must pay more attention to answers given and not just skim them. Thanks for advice re superior anagram solver (which I've bookmarked) and for advice re Q27. Am I looking for what the dark and roving kind of girl's hair hung down in (in the popular 50s song) as I can't find any direct connection with 'drapes'?
