Stuck on three: 8 down: Flood essentially dispersed with pump, leading to this? (5) MO???
11 down: 'year' and 'here' are misguided, 'year' and 'meare' are discounted, 'year' and 'pear' are the answer (8) E?E??Y?E20 across (which will have, I think, a longer word than (5) ) What keeps turning rhubarb dry? (5)
Also I can't find the two landmarkes.
Thank you

11 The answer is a word that means 'words that look the same but are pronounced differently' - whereas the first two examples are words that are pronounced the same.

20 There's a four-letter word for 'rhubarb', just meaning rubbish, poppycock etc (it's a word I never use!), reversed , and a a two-letter word for 'What?', it appears quite regularly in crosswords, One letter from the short word is dropped. The definition is 'dry', though the answer is more usually seen in the past tense (I was ….).

Hi mjk

8d Flood essentially = OO. Dispersed = anagram. Do that with "pump" to get a hyphenated word (or two words) (3-2).

Sorry, just O. Anagram of OPUMP.

Brilliant - thank you, now all I need are the Landmarks, if any kind person could help me with that!

Mjk, you're welcome. There's a much longer thread on this puzzle, I've just posted on that. There are some big hints there about the landmarks. (I'm not being unhelpful, it just seems silly to duplicate information!)

Thank you Malone.

You're welcome, mjk.

Hi malone. I must be the only person who can't find the word you are referring to for 11d. I can't find it in a wordfinder and I can't find it by googling your definition. The nearest word I can find from the definition is heteronym, which is obviously wrong. Can you help me find the word please! I'm feeling thick here!
