Jigjag, Grunger, Paul...

I liked the Rebecca clue...but it took me a few minutes to solve!

Reminds me of
G-GAG (5,8)
I think by Myops in the Wee Stinker

Paul Malone

yes I thought Rebecca was fair and I liked it too. My complaint is that a second collection of un-ordered letters is used in the WENd answer. This cant be right so I think the answer should be WINd.

Jono

Cant solve your clue sorry

Jigjag, thanks.

The two sets of random letters didn't bother me too much - maybe because one involved notes, the other compass points. I don't think Wind is as good an answer, unless it's commonly used for Go.

Malone

Thanks. It seemed odd to have 2 sets of random letters - possibly CBUAU to go back to that!

I use "The river winds..." and , more often, I am going to wind my way down to the pub.

I never use "wend" but it could be that my English is wrong.

Hi jigjag
I was going to post the first verse of Gray's Elegy to illustrate "wends", but when I Googled it, I found that he has "winds"!

....wind, not winds

Jigjag, Chris,

Yes, I initially thought 'wind' meant the same as 'wend', so Grunger's win, three points thing made sense. I did a quick check but couldn't find anything to confirm that. I can see the river winding, that sounds as if it's curving, bending etc, and you possibly do the same on your way to (or maybe from?) the pub!

Jono, I need a letter or two in place to have a chance with your G-Gag clue!

Hi Malone,
It’s something of an infamous clue often cited as crossing the line into unfair. If you have a piano to hand it might help.
Crossers might be ?a?p? ??r???a?
Definitely not fair imho!
