I've got T-R-S. I think that you have it wrong. The only 5-letter ones I can find are Theia, Coeus, Crius and (possibly) Atlas. Clue: Search for "Titans". They weren't elder Gods, though. Not in the classical sense. He probably went postal and bashed up one of the Romans' ones by mistake :-) That's why I do the Times, not the Grauniad. You get sensible questions, sometimes. |

There were only 12 and none have 5 letters or begin with T! What have you got wrong? From Embrocation, 2 down Cut grass (3) Mow, 3 down Full (7) Replete, 4 down I don't know, Grapple - confirm (6) then 5 down One of elder gods defeated by Zeus (5) and that should start with the T from Embrocation. Innit. |

Innit. I have mailed someone who will definitely know. That means that several people can now get on with some work :-) |

It'd be a lot more sense if you were to do the 'cryptic' and not the 'quick'. Then you'd get unambiguous clues. I only do the cryptic. Once I've done the killer, fiendish and whatever other Su Doku they give you, the word puzzle and the Polygon. And been down the pub. I don't read the paper itself, someone else has that. I pay 10p for the Times 2 and the back page for the crossword. Bargain. What do you have against the grauniad cryptic? Apart from not seeing enough of Araucaria? And the fact that you have to pay an exorbitant amount to do the crossword on the web. -- Kay |
