6d. meet

6 Meet

[baibee]

Thought it was meet but why?

[ladyalex]

it sounds like (by ear) Meat (flesh) ??

[Lie-in King]

Meet = 'find' & sounds like ("by the ear") 'meat' (flesh)

[vegasmad]

6d. meet (find) - sounds like meat (flesh)

[ladyalex]

Why is it Curare, though ?

[baibee]

Rare is very red (steak) perhaps its a poison?

[Valanne]

Copper (cu) is reddish brown, rare is very red as in meat.

[ladyalex]

I think I have it...CU=copper which is reddish brown, then Rare= very red as in steak (thanks, baibee, didn't see that at all.)
And Curare is indeed a poison.

[baibee]

Curare are arrow poisons I just looked it up! Any ideas about 20d?

[ladyalex]

Thanks Valanne

[Valanne]

Pleasure, Ladyalex, I'd only just worked it out myself when you asked.

[Mamyalynne]

Baibee are you sure of all letters for 20d
