This month (April) the eight attendees worked in one group on a Quiptic crossword from the Guardian and another crossword from the Irish Times. Some clues were quite challenging but we managed to finish both in the allotted two hours, fortified with the usual caffeine and biscuits.
Here are a couple of clues for you to try:-
Conflict with detective on plan for future (8)
Comic actor James turned away before fondness led to disillusion (12)
How did you get on with last month’s clues? Here are the answers:-
Clue: Greek island company gets fur distributed (5)
Definition is ‘Greek island’, solution is an anagram of ‘co’ (for company) and ‘fur’
Answer: CORFU
Clue: Form of expression originally in Douglas, Isle of Man (5)
Definition is ‘Form of expression’, solution is first letter of each word after ‘originally’
Answer: IDIOM
Our next meeting is Wednesday 13th May at 2pm in the Guide HQ and then we plan a summer break – restart on Wednesday 9th September.
