Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 It's Standdown Jill, as zanehed posted above. Your "D" is wrong at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 It's Standdown Jill, as zanehed posted above. Your "D" is wrong at the start. Oh ok, the clue where I got the D from was 'Applies Palm Oil, Apparently' and the quick clue was 'Lubricates', therefore surely an S rather than a D?

Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 How many letters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 And yes, most likely an "S" at the end of the answer, as it's in the present tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 So where did the "D" ever come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 'Greases' is the answer to that clue I reckon Bugger you beat me Exactly - thats where the S comes from? Therefore it begins with S. The A comes from - 'American Intelligence Agency' which I put CIA as the C and the I fit in the other answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 So where did the "D" ever come from? D is from 'Aided' - clue is 'given assistance to' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 So am I. You never had an "S" in the original 'answer' but you had two "D"s. The first "D" was wrong, I was just wondering where it came from when the answer that goes through it was "Greases". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeem Hardison Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 American Intelligence Agency isn't very cryptic. Is this The Sun crossword with two sets of clues?
