Last one. Being the possessor of oxygen-enriched muscle switches. It's complicated but I have B?AS?I?G which I'm pretty sure is correct and therefore it looks like boasting should be the answer but I can't see the wordplay.Any Ideas?

[Lie-in King]

Does this have a theme or special instructions?

Boasting (being the possessor of) - O(xygen-enriched) 'ab' (muscle, back = switches) - I don't see where 'sting' comes in, though...

F.A.O L-I-K (extra instruction about pairing answers)

Ta shooty, I saw that but the full details & the clue leading to 'Sting' would help :-)

[mullingar]

Maybe you're right Lie-in-King and BOA stands on its own. Now I have to find a connection to S?I?G with one of my other answers but I'm blowed if I can see which one.

[Lie-in King]

Apologies, but I don't know this puzzle.

Surely 'Boa' + 'Sting' (from wherever) is a valid answer for "Being the possessor of"?

'Boa' alone only fulfils the word-play element of the clue you've shown.

[mullingar]

S?i?G is unclued and must be used as a prefix or suffix for another answer for which the definition refers to the two part answer if you can follow that. Unfortunately there are too many potential possibilities to write them here. I was hoping somebody who had tackled the crossword might be able to help me out. I appreciate your attention nonetheless

[mullingar]

Sorry I've just paid a bit more attention to your answer L-i-K. Of course Boasting means Being in possession of. Sting is unclued in the wordplay. Thanks

[Lie-in King]

Thanks mullingar - I'll stick with that pairing for the reason above, though :-)

[Lie-in King]

We crossed! Happy to have been of help :-)

Thank you Mullingar: You led me to the answer "boasting" in the question I asked about pairing with sting. (see Genius 108 thread with hankir).
I am impressed that you are all up at midnight and answering questions.
It was 7 PM here when I first asked the question.

Thank you Lie-in-king.



I truly appreciate your willingness to help at any hour.

[hankir]

My bad.
It should have been "Thank you Lie-in King".

[Lie-in King]

Hi hankir - I'm glad the answer was useful :-)
