can you think of a good example of a phrase where the two words can be swapped, is always my guideline. can't argue with Rogets tho.

I agree totally, its a synonym that doesn't readily come to mind and no I can't but as you say if it's in Roget's ......

That's brilliant Ginge, and as Trevor says, you can't argue with Roget's. Thanks again Ginge, Trevor and Les.

Thanks so much for the Wintertime explanation. It was one of two left that I knew but didn't like! The other was 55 across for which I want Second Nature but I don't care for "playing"...?

55a Playing with make-up? Time to break certain ingrained habit(6,6)


seen parsed as

playing = ON
make-up = DNA
time = T
certain = SECURE

Hi Cordelia, I didn't do this crossword so if you would provide the clue for 55a I'll try and help explain it if you like.

Is this a prize crossword please?

Sudokulover, I don't think this was a prize crossword. It was part of the Times celebration of 100 years of crosswords. I don't know if this was an old crossword reprinted or something else entirely.

Thanks malone - i can print it off from the Times crossword club website and have a go at my leisure then!

Genius. Merci.
