Hi Tuesday

Answer to 14d = jockey

25a = cyphers

Boomerang the clue to 14 down reads: "He directs from back seat during race"

Clue for 25a reads: "Codes you produced had everyone really stumped at first"

I'm sure someone else will confirm above.

Regards Dutchy

Thank you Dutchy had both those answers at one stage but wasn't confident. Great to have the help Laughing

Hi Tuesday, Boomerang and Dutchy

I have the same cryptic answers as Dutchy:

14D. He directs from back seat during race = Jockey

25A. Codes = Cyphers (variant spelling of 'ciphers')
at first = the 'first letter of each word in the clue spells out the answer
Codes You Produced Had Everyone Really Stumped

Post again if you get stuck Tuesday and we'll do our best to help you.

Happy New Year to you all!
Regards, Butterfly Very Happy

Has anyone finished this.
I think that there is an error
153 The i of IOU.
I have letters o?e.
so am assuming the
answer they want is owe

What do others think?

Hi ftlocks

Lovatts have acknowledged that a "gremlin" has crept into 153d of the Holiday Stinker No.56. The correct answers is "owe" as you've got it.
