One final footnote: does anyone recognize "crotch broth" as an exp.??!! The clue was "Note monk alien and queen pulled off , producing knob toffee" .
I have ?R?T?H ?R?T? The overall mng is clear; broth = er (queen) = brother(=monk);crotch + ET (alien) = crotchet = note --- so I suppose the exp. must exist (logical enough)! Whew!!!
