@braino,
Swampy Siberian forest=TAIGA
Ganges cremation platform = GHAT
@braino,
Looked up in wikepedia and google and came up with what l think is the answer to 224a PROTOPLASM
@margsy,
Thanks for all your hard work but I found that the word is Biocosmism. The I on the end of Baba Ganoush threw me and it's a B at the beginning not n.
@braino,
Hi Braino
Your word 'biocosmism' is incorrect for 224a!
Margsy's answer of PROTOPLASM is the correct answer!
@Dutchy,
Thanks Dutchy I can change musical to lyrical, Babi to baba, but I can't change the Austrian Imperial family from Habsburg to Hapsburg. That's the only word holding me up. Also have a problem with Nov Big Goliathon; 5dn enchantment; -a-I-a- :
@braino,
Hi braino
Take it from me HAPSBURG is the correct answer for 215 down.
Goliathon 5d = MAGICAL
Good luck.
