Hi

I have done most of the cryptic but there are a few that I can't get.

They are 1d - Foundation of business premises, I have ESTABLISHMENT
but then 33a Nigel playing marbles, answer LEGIN doesn't fit with ESTABLISHMENT and I think 41a Track down tiny quantity should be TRACE but then it doesn't all fit.

Could you help me with these as I am just starting to do cryptics?

Thanks
Tigiie

@tigiie,
Hi tigiie,
Try ELGIN, rather than legin.

Hope that helps!

This is what I have -
3 down healer (the spanish = el back + listen to = hear - healer
45 across recalling (lifes work = calling)
39 down Cairo (company = c+o - tune = air)
haven't done 72across yet.

Hope my explanations made sense.

Good luck

@deedeexx,
Hi catgirl

DDXX submissions are the same as mine.

72a = SENDS forwards is sends, wind up is end, in ship is sea.

Good luck with your entry.
