Clue is: MORE FIDDLY (8)

I have t??c?i?r.

Could be TOUCHIER or perhaps TETCHIER or even TRICKIER.

The last option looks best but I can't make up my mind. What do you think?

This comes from the European edition - I've no idea if the crosswords are replicated Down Under.

(My especial thanks go to Dutchy for getting me involved in this tripe).

@lmur,
Well, you know the next to the last letter is an 'e' anyhow. That must help some. Smile

@lmur,
Hi lmur

Haven't seen this particular crossword yet. I'm leaning towards TITCHIER

Cheers.

@Dutchy,
Thanks for your reply, Dutchy. In this part of the world, something "titchy" means "small". From Onelook:

titchy Show phonetics
adjective UK CHILD'S WORD
extremely small:
We've got a great big car, and you've only got a titchy little one.

I think TRICKIER fits the clue best so I'll run with it.

It's tricky, isn't it? Who'd have thought a titchy crossword could have made me so tetchy? Hope you're not touchy about my not going with your suggestion. Razz

@lmur,
Good on you mate, stick to your guns! Received the November Big today and am battling the Demon, a real tough one this time.

Good puzzling. Smile
