Last one, help appreciated
Fail to take a hint,we hear,and make a false stroke

--- I ---C --E [5 letters] miscue ? circle? or something else ?

[logogriph]

Presumably its 6 letters - I'd go for miscue - i.e. miss cue (a hint)

[Dee Sa]

I thought that was the best option but needed your expertise.
many tks Dee

Agree 100% - false stroke as in snooker, to miscue.
