these clues are really bothering me, because this is usually an easy crossword
problem is 2d . nattering Y???ing
and 23a Brawny B???Y it could be ..beefy, burly, bulky
which effects the third letter of Y???ing YaCking
can't find a satisfactory answer unless it's yelling.
any help appreciated again.
@pixelrippa,
yarning
burly
I haven't done this one yet so that's more of a guess than anything.
@pixelrippa,
Yacking is quite a common term in the UK for nattering.
@izzythepush,
It's common here too, but that would mean the answer to BRAWNY would be B?C?Y
@cherrie,
Are you sure about the other letters?
All that fits in with that is baccy.
@pixelrippa,
Quote:any help appreciated again.
Help is at hand.
There is no way that 23 across can link to the third letter of 2 down.
And everyone except moi hasn't the faintest clue.
@nacredambition,
Why not?
I have the crossword in front of me and the 3rd letter of 2d and the 3rd letter of 23a is where they intersect.
@izzythepush,
I haven't done it yet but they look okay at a quick look.
I'm still going with YARNING and BURLY.
@cherrie,
Had never heard of 'yarning'. Aussies are odd!
@cherrie,
You're probably right, you usually are.
@lmur,
I really had to think about this because I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they were 'yarning'. They would be more likely to say they were 'having a yarn',
as in having a chat.
@izzythepush,
I hope so. I've done that corner of the crossword now and they're the only words that seem to fit, so they're what I'm going with.
@cherrie,
How long will it be before Lovatts reveal the answers? I'll set up a reminder to revisit this.
Thanks Cherie, I will have to go with 'yarning' and 'burly' too.
I agree that "yarning' never crossed my mind, because as you said "it's have a
yarn" with no suffix.
@lmur,
It wont be for about 3 or 4 months. I'll come back with the correct answer when I get it.
@cherrie,
Thanks cherrie. I've set a reminder for August 1st!!
@cherrie,
Did lovatts confirm the answer to this one?
@lmur,
Not yet, I think it will be a couple more weeks.
Stumble It!
