Title: Crosswords
Post by: Highlander on September 03, 2017, 21:17:00 PM: Now that I have more time on my hands (when one of them is not holding a paint brush) I have taken to doing crosswords daily.

Some of the answers to clues really annoy me, for example

CLUE: Not helpful or willing (4-9).

Answers please.

Post by: Stuart T on September 03, 2017, 23:40:29 PM: I don't think it is hyphenated - however, there is no other solution I can think of. Perhaps the - between 4 - 9 is the clue).

First one - water. Correct. Nicely done. ( Daily Telegraph many moons ago. Clue of the Year). (H to O).

Second one. No, Sir.

Try again.

There is no clue.

Hopefully, that helps you.
