(1)Achieved something through cunning or deceit (US spelling) = 8 letters = ?Y???L?D--not sure about the Y.
(2)Nonsense! = 12 letters= ?I?D?E?T?S??
Any suggestions to solve really appreciated even if letters above not all right !
Thanks-- FIDDLESTICKS appears right for clue 2 answer; making clue 1 answer ?Y?S?L?D
The Y is last letter of word TRENDY that I put for clue 'Casual style of fashion with loose clothing & ripped jeans'
