Hi Eliza -Yes it begins with L - last two letters from only with the name of a freshwater carnivorous mammal having webbed and clawed feet and dark brown fur inside

Thanks Suki that's what I've got so still don't know which one is wrong!

hi anotheray, you are brilliant. thanks. i don't know why but i was putting L with greatly. soon as i looked at your message, i got it. now for the other two! thanks again.

Hi Suki How is your sister-in-law.

Hi,folks!Seem to have come in late on this one,where most of you have finished!Need help with last two,plus question on p.1:
7.Have no idea where to begin here:which Hamilton?Clue please!Ends in L,right?
62.Also not the faintest:iris as flower/part of eye/famous woman?Begins with L,right?
And finally,I see you agree that on p. 1 15 answers begin with L.I have 1 too many if that is so.Can s'one please tell me which of these that is? 1,4,5,8,9,11,12,13,14,16,19,20,23,25,26,27.
Thank you all for your help!!!

greedykite - my answer to 8 ends in an L. I have a Q re no.30. I have what I think is the right answer; I get the 10 letter anagram but why does Izzard get reduced to a 'z'? Or is it a 9-letter anagram with 'iz'? But then why'...I pull...'?

I've worked it out:the solution is an anagram of z i pull a sail,izzard meaning just z (found by googling)--didn't know that either!I now have Nr 8 correct (never heard of it),thus making 15 on p.1 as often asserted here.But can you not help at all with 7 or 62?They both remain completely closed books to me,yet others presumably got them days or even weeks ago!H E L P ! ! !

Greedy Kite - For 7 - think about scottish football; for 62 the first three words are an anagram of a book where the answer is the author. I am still having trouble with two where there have already been clues but I'm obviously too thick to understand them. 29 is .....bill but I can't cross ref 'court' to find a bird. and 49 - I understand 'wedding' for union but that's as far as I get. Can you help any further?

Many thanks for the hints:got both then at once of course!As to 29:you need an old word for "to flirt".And 49:we're talking slang for prison & an example in the capital that sounds similar to (but is not quite identical with)a certain part of it.All you're lacking for the 2nd part of the solution is a very common word for "successfully"!So good luck,and thanks again!!!

Of course - doh! many thanks greedy kite
