Well done Buddy, real gem!
Also liked yours FJ.
Thanks for the votes.
Thanks Tyke for hosting.


Don’t think I can remember how to tie a Windsor now either.

Help! I’ve got to set tomorrow’s Clueless. I’ve never started a thread. Advice please.

Hi SimpleSimon
Find an earlier one and copy the introduction. Paste it into the text box, then alter the word, date, and puzzle number, then post it using the title Clueless 577
Mattrom has posted lists of words used so far: see here:

Thanks ChrisE.
I’ve checked Mattrom’s list and selected my word.
Fingers crossed I get the posting procedure right.

Well, a nice surprise to find after coming in from cutting the grass. Thanks to pat, culmer, simon, paul, dorrien, geeker, jono, chrise, mattrom and fj for the votes for #2, and to jimmyg and fj for the votes for 19 (a clue that I was really fond of!).

Thanks to tyke for hosting and the clips. Haven't tied a tie since at least 2008 and have no plans to ever do so again, weddings and/or funerals be damned.

Thanks to tyke51 for hosting and clips.

Hearty "well done" to buddy, congratulations to medalists fieryjack and simplesimon.

This was one of the (relatively frequent) instances when an early clue (buddy@2, very first one!) stands out as a clear front-runner 🙇.

Well done buddy, in fact well done the top three, who all deservedly secured loads of votes.

Thanks for the votes buddy, fieryjack and mattrom and to tyke51 for hosting a great contest … exceptionally high quality, and the word was particularly good anagram fodder.

Thanks to Tyke for the challenge, the accounting duties and the clips. Enjoyed the wallow.

I think the last time I knotted a tie was also in 2008.
