hello a fellow xworder recommended this site
I'm so addicted to Lovatts that I hope I've finally worked out how to ask a questions and I really hope it's not so obvious to the rest of you that they haven't been asked before.
So...
Colossus Cryptic
60a Every other inland pier has rock bottom(5) N?E?R
77a Miner's not about to get intimate (9) I?N?R?O?T
Colossus Baffler
backcloth..SCR?? is it just SCRAP
Colossus Stinker
128d disinterested (7) RE?T?AL
225d soft metal (7) G?L?E?M
These have stumped me so any help would be greatly appreciated.
