You just know when you have got them correct though ..like cryptic clues in a Crossword. You groan when the answer is revealed ... lol.
I love No. 13.

So you keep saying, but think you did OK before. At least having a go.
Hey, if I didn't know the answers would be tearing my hair out now.

Re: Dingbats Fun.

yes, Kate, but they weren't Dingbats! I try to do them in the paper every Sunday and if I get one right it is a fluke!
I think you must have to have an 'eye' for them.

Re: Dingbats Fun.

Well I'm very good at cryptic crosswords but these things usually defeat me. Am surprised I've done so well so far.

Thank you Kate, that's very generous. "Away in front" is not a phrase I would recognise anyway.
