Clue is Swedish Sherlock, 7 letters, ? A ? ? ? L L
none of the other4 letters are the same.

Hi,

I didn't realise that some "codeword" puzzles had clues - could you maybe give a couple of examples of some that you've already answered.

Thanks

Hi Brendan
You are right, but these are given a title, in this case 'Swedish Sherlock, which almost always relates closely to the answer.
So sometimes you can work them out 'backwards' from that if all else fails.
Anyway I have finally come up with the answer, HANKELL, which fits, but looking that up cant really find what or who Hankell
is / was.
Thanks for your reply. Now onward to my next puzzle. Some of these can be difficult but dont like to be beaten.

Not Mankell, the author of Wallander?

Would Mankell work? As in Henning Mankell the Swedish crime author.

Thanks, Mankell sounds better
