yup. it's not a great clue, it just doesn't read very well. maybe someone can improve it?
― ledge, Friday, 2 December 2011 10:18 (twelve years ago) link
it's okay i think! i know why you wanna tweak it but it reads fair, those hidden word ones are hard to clue without completely giving the game away
― Julie Lagger, Friday, 2 December 2011 10:19 (twelve years ago) link
i think "is" is the one word there i don't like but leaving it out wouldn't work

aye, it really wants to be "adopting and raising an undertaking" - actually that doesn't read any worse imo. anyway.

antique is wrong sorry
― Julie Lagger, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:12 (twelve years ago) link
there is a typological cheat in the clue i must say
tbh i'm pretty sure it's antique can u check again?

didn't notice the anag for antique but i'm afraid there's no clue for anag and "piece" as definition of "antique" is iff-ay
― Julie Lagger, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:15 (twelve years ago) link
i didn't, and i don't mean to offend dear chap, necessarily rule one of yr clues out because it was 'iff-ay'

how dare u sir i am generally meticulous way past the point of pedantry
― Julie Lagger, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:18 (twelve years ago) link
ps requiring a cue for anags is lame-o pickiness imo
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Friday, 2 December 2011 11:18 (twelve years ago) link
every word of the clue shd be functional or its a dodgy clue imo
― Julie Lagger, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:19 (twelve years ago) link
yep, that's not to say you need to include all indicators
Did you check was it antique btw
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Friday, 2 December 2011 11:21 (twelve years ago) link
fuck's sake antique has only 7 letters lol
