Hi everyone,
I am really stuck on a choice of words.
13A Interspersed. Is it Punctuated or Penetrated.
Can anyone help please.
Willy
Hi willy
Have settled for "punctuated", based on the following dictionary entry:
intersperse -- (place at intervals in or among; ``intersperse exclamation marks in the text'' )
Maybe someone else will verify.
Regards Dutchy
Hi willywagtail and Dutchy
I confirm the answer for 13a as PUNCTUATED.
Good luck in the competition.

Hi everyone,
Can I please have YET some MORE help
Across: 122 & 133.
Down: 18,22,32 & 126.
Thanks heaps :wink:
Hi MrsGreen.
122a = tearaway
133a = timbre
18d = midshipman
22d = queasy
32d = stylise
126d = knob
Hopefully someone will confirm above.
Dutchy
Thanks for those Dutchy...
although 22 down is very precise S?R?P??O?S :wink:
Sorry mrs greene, I read the wrong clue, 'scrupulous' is what you're after.
TY, woot woot! All done!
Now just the other 3 big ones to go

13 a Interspersed, this is interesting.. Punctuated or Penetrated.
One Across cross word dictionary gives 5 stars to Penetrated and 1 star for Punctuated.
Could this be one that both answers will be accepted? I will checking this one out when the results are published.

Did you read the definitions it gives for both though? I use one across and majority of the time they are in the incorrect order, if it gives the answer at all.

"Tail" is correct for 37d. See following definition

Willywagtail,
13 across: interspersed
This is interesting, I see you have 12 replies.
One Across Crossword Dictionary gives 5 stars to Penetrated and only 1 star to Punctuated.
Could this be one where both answers will be accepted? I will be checking the answer when the results are published.

Another good site for answers is Onelook Dictionary search.
I usually just go with Reverse Dictionary mostly and it
usually throws up the word I want. You can also unscramble
words and use it when you have only part of a word.
I've got a map site, a latin site, collective stuff, etc.
Has anyone else got any other interesting site to go to?
Best regards

Thanks Dutchy and Tigiie for the help.

I still think that the answer is PUNCTUATED but I
think you are right that both may be accepted.
"Quick definitions (intersperse)
verb: place at intervals in or among (Example: "Intersperse exclamation marks ina the text")
verb: introduce one's writing or speech with certain expressions"
I think the worst puzzle I have done this time round was the STINKER
in the Collossus 108.
Tigiie
What do you have for the other one I mentioned Dutchy?
Stumble It!
