As soon as I post I understand what it is that I was talking about - that is pretty normal for me. I suppose the whole point of riddles is that they are not like good crossword clues .


Is the very word 'riddle' meant to be a sort of clue ?

'for' gives a common 2 letter synonym (you have the last 3 letters, dylan). def is a coin.

A simple 4 letter word meaning 'Group' + 'a' - def African hut.

The the two things puzzling me most as I contemplate the end game is that I expected to see a U in every quadrant; and why the double lines have a two-cell break between quadrants, are they a passage to move from one to another?

Can someone help me with the parsing of the flute player? It seems to me to require 'a' = 'over'. What am I missing?

You were perhaps expecting a U to emerge from each quadrant into its external square, lumen - but only one of the 4 external squares is required and the U passes through the grid to that point (you've got a good idea how).

Yes thanks, I'm getting there, I have three of the riddle solutions now, just need to connect through Top Left - but my TL riddle is gibberish with ten words, so think I may have gone wrong!

A worthy tribute to a great person whose books I have never read.

Yes, there are 10 words for the top left 'riddle' (6 acrosses/4 downs) but they do make sense read in clued order.

I’ve now got the two LH paths, I’d love to know how many words in the two RH riddles
