[golddust5]

?T???A?T (8) Any thoughts. Thanks .

[Captain2]

All I can see fitting is

Stalwart - which is an anagram of 'at last' + R(obin) + W(onder)

????

[ducksie]

it is stalwart Captain2

[Captain2]

Thanks, ducksie - can you parse it better than my attempt?

[bobbinwales]

Stalwart dosnt mean so manly tho does it?

[Mamyalynne]

No, it doesn't.

[ducksie]

You parsed it perfect and it is manly

I find often with the rte that the definitions are a bit iffy!

[bobbinwales]

If it is stalwart it seems a poor clue as it dosnt mean manly to me. And rw from robin boy wonder is rubbish IMO. Is 'becomes an anagram indicator _ seems weak

[ducksie]

If you scroll down this link, to adjectives, you will see manly https://www.synonyms.com/synonym/stalwart
I got this publication at 8.30am and never have a problem finishing it by 9 to 9.30, it's usually just anagrams and easy do, it seems tricky for members of AB for some reason

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think it's so much as difficult for ABers, simply the setter doesn't follow the rules for setting clues.

[bobbinwales]

So we're a bit slow. Got you ducksie.

[chelle7272]

That's it exactly mamya

[ducksie]

Well, I find it easy and it always causes strife on here for people helping the person asking for assistance

[bobbinwales]

Oddly the manly synonym cae from a dictionary of 'synonymes' which is not how i see synonym spelt

[chelle7272]

It's not strife, I'm just perplexed at times lol. As long as you enjoy it what I think is of no matter

[bobbinwales]

I agree chelle.if it suits ducksie and others good luc1k. It's just poor clueing to me too often but if your used to it I can see its okay

[ducksie]

You're right chelle, it's not strife, wrong way of wording it - yep, I do love it, look forward every monday getting it delivered :)
I didn't mean to imply ye were slow bobbinwales, I find the clues easy and just cannot see the issue every time someone asks a question on this crossword - that's all I was thinking

[chelle7272]

I'm glad you enjoy it, I do know what you mean about the responses sometimes.
We all have our preferences and it's good they're not selling the same :)

Self praise is no recommendation
