Yet more of Paul's fake novels! I'm almost there - but 22,17,3 ... I see the key and have all the other letters but can't get the pilgrimage and make it fit 8 (ugh!)

I've come to the conclusion that the last four-letter word in 22,17,3 must be a word that only exists in the urban dictionary - or Polish ... which, if so, doesn't seem entirely fair. In which case, the first two words would be given names.

Greetings Prospero. I think you're right. It was my last one too, and I think I'm going for the same answer as you...

Aah, it's also a Cornish surname, apparently. So perhaps that was Paul's logic

good to know that - I had a colleague once called that but with an A. I'm certain I have 27 right but can't work out the fodder ...

Yes, I'm sure I've got 27, but couldn't be bothered to unknot the tangle. I'm sure it's in there somewhere...

Likewise, I had a teacher with an A

well, you take the third word out of the last three - but I still don't get the parsing - unless "of" was meant to be "from" ...

wonder if it was the same person - Webber Douglas?

Ha! The second two words are a 27 across of the last three

Ah, yes - I had the syntax wrong!
