Hi Tuesday

88d = "arch"
Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source
arch2 /ɑrtʃ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ahrch] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
-adjective 1. playfully roguish or mischievous: an arch smile.

92d = "cradle". Will research this one a bit further. For 91A I have SCRUTINEER whereas you show a 't' for the second letter. Which word have you there?

thanks for those Dutchy. I agree with your scrutineer, I was working round strategist but I like your answer better.
All the best and thanks again

Hi Tuesday

Re cradle:

10. Nautical. a. a shaped support for a boat, cast, etc.; chock.
b. truss (def. 9).

11. Shipbuilding. a. a moving framework on which a hull slides down the ways when launched.
b. a built-up form on which plates of irregular form are shaped.

I think I'm pretty well happy with that.

Hi Dutchy and Tuesday, I know scrutineer is correct unless they
changed it in the last few years --- my father was one.

Hello everyone!
Just a quickie...
157a - Bright stripe
I am torn between streak and striae.
While I am leaning towards streak I was just wondering if anyone can offer me some guidance.
Just a little footnote-I won $30 on a Big starhunt! I only wish there was an online bar so I could buy everyone who has helped me a beer!

Hi catgirl

I have settled for "streak" although I feel your other word maybe accepted as well by Lovatts. There are similar definitions for both words in the dictionaries.

Congratulations on your win.

Thank you so much for your help. I followed your advice and went for streak. All finished and ready to send. Thanks again.

My pleasure catgirl, call again.
