Which Is It Please

[jasperbd]

Superior numbers ultimately high, one senses. WE have 2 answers. SNIFFS or SNIFFY. which is correct please and why

[waterboatman]

If the last letter is part of another word, that may help. If it's not, it doesn't matter.

[JJ109]

Sniffy = superior
S= (number)s ultimately
niffy = high/off one senses

[1ozzy]

One senses indicates "sniffs"
Plural

[Jackdaw33]

One senses indicates third person singular therefore sniffs.

[JJ109]

one senses something is high if it is NIFFY

[1ozzy]

Ok, I agree, but.
One senses something is high if it was "iffy"
Superior numbers gives the "SN"

[JJ109]

Superior is the definition = Sniffy

preceded by (number)S, ultimately

Never heard the term niffy before.
Thanks for persevering.

I learn something new everyday ;-)

ozzy - until I did the crossword myself I hadn't either and had to look it up and hope it was there. Whiffy I had heard of, but not niffy!
Best wishes
