Lovatts cryptic
Hi Dutchy
Slept in this morning did we. Wondering about you answer to 54d tartar this by any chance a typo ??
Hi Tuesday.
Thanks for that, hadn't noticed.
Thank you to both of you. Just started to learn cryptic crosswords and find them extremely difficult. Thank you very much.
Cryptics are indeed difficult but are great fun, still learning them myself, and if stuck we know where to come, don't we?
I need help too.
53A. May include joke about royalty. ?A?E?T?
67A. Humble but taking a stand. A?A?E
Oh, and is the answer to 26A 'Shorter'?
Hi Julksy
53a = majesty
67a = abase
for 26a I have shorten.
Perhaps someone will verify.
I need help too
Hi Julksy I can confirm Dutchy's answers. Always good to see someone else has the same answers as yourself in the cryptics as I always doubt my answers until I see them confirmed.
Regards and good luck.
