cryptic

Hi Jules. Welcome to A2K

Just a couple of things you should know. If you are doing one of the big Aussie crosswords there are plenty of solvers who are happy to help other solvers, but they need to know exactly which crossword you are doing.

In addition, there are people like me from several thousand miles away who don't actually do those crosswords but are happy to help solve the clues, but we need to know how many letters, and which letters you already have. The accepted format is ???e?t?

So if you will re-post with more details you will get the answers.

colossus 187- cryptic
cryptic No 187
32A-stopped and read about time out- A?R?S?E?
52D-Belittled police control room in promo- A?A?E?
57D-showing no evidence of tearing- ?R?E?E?

32A - ARRESTED
52D - ABASED

Let you know if I think of the other one - if someone doesn't beat me to it

Thank you very much for your help

Last one is 3 and 4 so its ?R? E?E?


could it be dry eyed?

Hi Jules

My suggestion is you could be spot on with either "dry eyes or eyed"

thanks for all your help everyone
