Hello again Seamus. Thanks for your reply which leaves me more baffled. I have printed the wee stinker grid and clues etc on a number of occasions. I note you mention the puzzle page. Surely you mean the back page.
Regards

Need help with 5ac - muddy bits store. Think it's cloud but can't see connection!

Cloud = muddy, as a verb. The Cloud is where you store all your bits/photos/files/whatever, all your computer stuff - it's in cyber space, not on your pc, laptop, phone.

The Cloud is an Apple back-up 'bit' store for data.

Thanks for your help guys. All very clear now.

I am likewise confused.

I have a standard online-only subscription with The Herald and, as far as I know, there aren't any printed newspaper pages available on the website. Neither have I ever seen the Wee Stinker anywhere on there.

If you mean that you are printing the Wee Stinker from the pages on the Pressreader site, then I think it's unlikely that the Herald would accept that as a valid entry.

Thank you for clarification of this.
