Help with 49d please. H_i_e. Haven't any idea for this one.
Also 5ac - have got decibel as the only word that fits but can't see why.

Perhaps you can tell me, since you have just done it, why so many people ignore the site's advice on posting requests for help with crosswords.

Please give the clues.
49dn or whatever (can't temember the number)is a German poet.

Oops sorry. New to this. What bit did I ignore?

The bit that says:

State the name (and number if available) of the puzzle in the thread title. "Stuck", "Help!!!" or "Last One" aren't very useful titles.

2. Give the clue number, the clue and the number of letters and please put this number in parentheses at the end of the clue. If no number of letters is given in the puzzle, then tell us. It also helps to know if the clue is cryptic or general knowledge.

3. Tell us which letters you already have. Try to use spaces around the character you choose for missing letters as it makes it much easier to read. Also try to ensure that the letters given match the stated number of letters in the clue.


Or, more succinctly, nearly all of it.

OK thx - heine

don't know what torquemada has a problem with. Decibel is decide swapping the D for B of book, and L for large.

"don't know what torquemada has a problem with"

You surprise me.

49d is Heine, a german poet, but don't know how they made it up.

Thx pennymist - been scratching my head for ages over that :)
