Mega Stinker 71

arcana, austral. Probably hexahedron (six-sided, like a cube)

106d is ARCANA
167d is AUSTRAL

dunno about that 42d. It's tough when you don't have the puzzle in front of you.

Hi, Jack. We posted simultaneously. Great minds and all...

Hi sweda

I have the following:
42d = HEXAHEDRON
106d = ARCANA
167d = AUSTRAL
194a = LEAVE

Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the answers. As Dutchy knows I find the Stinker and Demon difficult to do so I was pleased to get down to 3 before needing help.

Monteray Jack - I haven't been able to get the Dictionary you recommended but got one called Edwin Faint's Complete Crossword Dictionary - cost $70.00 here and its very good. Still doesn't have all the answers but a great help

Thanks again,
Sweda

wasn't me that recommended it, but on behalf of whoever it was, good, glad you got something that helps

Hi sweda
I have the Ultimate Crossword Dictionary by Edwin Faint, same cost.
Find it very good but think no one dictionary has all the answers.
Christine sometimes has this as a prize but buying it is quicker!!
All the best

Hi Sweda & jacaranda

I have the Collins "Million Word Crossword Dictionary" by Stanley Newman & Daniel Stark, available from Readers Digest. Cost $50.00

OK Dutchy you win
Regards

Thanks for the information re Dictionaries. Dutchy, I also have the one you mentioned but am finding the E.Faint one better for lots of things as its based on Crosswords. Takes me ages to go through my collection at times. Jacaranda, I also have the Bradford one that is ofter given out as a prize but don't think it is as good as the other 2 mentioned. (My opinion only)

Sorry to be so late back with a reply to all.
Thanks

Sweda
