Just play around with a few words and weave them into a short phrase.

eg
Nutmeg is a barrel back + a jewel back.

Cardamom gives scope for a Mother's day type clue.

THECORBYLOON

Is it to break a potential tie or is it to add your own tie-breaker with your entry?

Mamyalynne

Would you approach those two scenarios differently Corby?

Question Author

its to add to my own entry but one that hastened been used already in the previus 70 questions so theres not mny left thanks tiffy

smouse

Surely helping with a tie break is wrong. You have given an example Lynne how do you know they won't use that

Mamyalynne

I haven't given a tie breaker, I have tried to demonstrate how to play with words.

Question Author

to smouse i dont know if they will use the example given i just wanted tips on how to compose a question tiffy

smouse

You almost have surely you can see that

smouse

You surely must have done a quiz that needs a tie break in the past

THECORBYLOON

A tie-breaker asking another question similar to those in the main quiz, could result in many also getting that one correct.

As the questions appear to be cryptic, a factual question based on the amount or value of nutmeg selt in this country in a named year could be posed.

The more difficult it is to find the answer, the more chance that folk would have to guess and the nearest wins.

Mamyalynne

Have given two suggestions for nut and meg but they would need to be woven into a phrase - surely you can see that.

We try to assist people here and not everyone is well versed in the way cryptics work.

Mamyalynne

Good luck Tiffy.

Good luck tiffy, ignore "you know who", she waits in the background to pounce on people who don't conform to what she wants you to do. This is a question and answer site.

TheWinner

and I don't like the way she speaks to Mamyalynne.

smouse

I think Lynne would have reported me if she was unhappy
