win 
verb (used with object), winned, win·ning. Scot. and North England .
to dry (hay, wood, etc.) by exposure to air and sun.

[wrongtupelo]

Win .... means to dry out hay and to take first place

[Aelred]

Thank you all for your replies. Win appears correct. But then "U" comes is there in another word. The clue for that is as follows: "The younger at
school maybe" and I had entered JUNIORS. Is this incorrect.

tiddler?

[Aelred]

Tiddler is good, but then it would put another word out. I'm baffled

[ladyalex]

Does it have to have 7 letters?
Could it be Minor, as in Jones Minor meaning the younger Jones ?

[WyeDyed]

What other letters do you have?

[Aelred]

The clue is "Art form, abstract painting" , 7 letters and I entered "Minimal"

[Aelred]

Sorry it is 6 letters. My head is definately baffled !!

[Calibax]

If it's youngest rather than younger it could be Minimus

[Calibax]

^ Brothers at school are known as e.g. Jones Major, Jones Minor, Jones Minimus

[WyeDyed]

Which one has 6 letters, Juniors and minimal are both 7 letter words?

[TheWinner]

Could it be Cubism? giving you the U for juniors?

[ladyalex]

cubism ?
If that is the 6 letter one ?

[Aelred]

Cubism would knock out "I" in Win

[ladyalex]

So the clue crossing with 'WIN' is NOT the one about the younger at school, it's the one about abstract art ?

Is that right ?

[Calibax]

Win looks definitely right.
From what you've said that makes the second letter of 'younger at School' I.
If that is Minimus what letters would you have for the art form?

[TheWinner]

Let's take it that WIN is correct.

Now give us what letters you have for younger at school and how many letters.


Could it be Primary?
