Swimpy: I'll PM a clue to you...now.
How's it going? Any progress?
Think of a flower and pluralise it!
I'm so glad this hasn't been solved yet - my server was down yesterday and I couldn't get on to reveal the answer to No. 2:
Jasmines
That sure was a tough one!
Congratulations, Crisscross. You're correct!
CONUNDRUM #2
J A S M I N E S .......... is the answer with a TOTAL VALUE of 90.
<banging head on keyboard> Jasmines!
I would have never found that!
I think we should help each other out.
For number 3:
It is not:
Swordlike = 116
Swirling = 111
Oh no! They're ganging up...
I have with 130 and some with 124.
swarming = 104
swertias = 124
spurrion =130
storming
sporting
sporoide
spurrier
sportive
You're getting close to the TOTAL VALUE - isn't it tough?
Yes its tough! Its driving me to distraction. I have my little notes around to work on whenever I get the time.
It is not as tough as that one you posted to Abuzz years ago though. I was telling someone about it but I couldn't remember how it went. It was something like a three letter body part, a four letter fruit and something else. I can't even remember the damn answer that you finally had to tell us.
Those were the days...
...now these are the days, come back to haunt you!
Good Sleuthing.
