Thanks for any hints.

[elliemay1]

99 the chemical symbol for tin will help

[elliemay1]

44 a short word for mother+ anag of a word meaning unhappy

[FoxLee2]

44. And include the definite article
67. Google a list of constellations with four letters and then look back over previous questions as to where you would find capitals.
55. Lowest rank of soldier

[JJ109]

55 Soldier lower in rank than a lance corporal last letter of sortie right

[JJ109]

20 Three letter word for to make a mistake inside a three letter question word

[bibster]

Thank you all for your help .

[JJ109]

44 I get Ellie's answer and can parse it and think it is correct, however

Short word for mother, + a 4 letter word meaning unhappy in certain circumstances anagrammed, all inside the usual 2 letter crossword abbreviation for a newspaper = part of a sailing ship The reason why I think Ellie's answer is correct is that my alternative has no need for the word "article"

[FoxLee2]

I disagree jj109 - I don't know what your four letter word for unhappy is but mine is the usual 3 letter word, written around 'article' and starting with the mother. Every part of these questions has to count.

[elliemay1]

44 Sorry, I forgot to include the definite article in my parse; the synonym for 'unhappy' has 3 letters which surround the definite article

[elliemay1]

^ the same as Foxlee!

[JJ109]

I agree with you Elliemay! I originally had a good alternative answer that I was not totally happy with because it did not include "article", which appeared to be superfluous to the clue. When I saw your answer, I preferred your solution

[elliemay1]

Glad you're sorted jj

[RAZ1981]

Cannot get this tin one for the life of me! Very frustrating.

[Sweetpea6]

RAZ1981 - when you have the 2 letter chemical symbol for tin, you then "anagram" with the first two words of clue to find the answer. I didn't know it's meaning until I used my chambers dictionary

[RAZ1981]

That was my idea, but I couldn't figure it out until now. Good old Chambers always comes in handy.

[Dannyboy59]

I don't have Chambers and the online search doesn't give a definition for what I THINK the answer is to 99! I pencilled it in very early on and can't see another anagram that works, so I'm going with it!

[elliemay1]

Danny, the first word is something you might eat for dinner

[jenniferd]

44. Mother, unhappy about article in newspaper.
I've read the clues given but "what is the usual crossword abbreviation
for a newspaper" as jj109 mentions

[Mamyalynne]

44 You don't need an abb. for a newspaper.

3 synonyms - Mother/Unhappy/Article, anag

[jenniferd]

Re 44. Thank you Mamyalynne but what is "Article" referring to. Is it a letter(s) or a thing. I see "article" referred to in Rainbow Quizzes quite often but have never found out what it refers to.
