Getting nowhere with question 63
Light chopped onion spread over 8 Letters even with clues that have been given still can't see it. Thanks to anyone who can put me out of my misery.

several people have posted the answer as ignition

The only sense ive seen made of it is;
Light=Ignite chop off "e" =Ingnit
Onion chopped =ion

Thanks chorley and mamyalynne
Had put ignition then read someone had given a clue about another name for onion ie scullion then began to think I had got it wrong. Think I will go with ignition having been looking on and off for days.

I finally cracked this one after weeks of trying (and posting on this site). The last clue I was given got it for me in the end - another word for onion + initials for light. It's worth persevering for the sigh of relief when the (coloured) light eventually dawns!

To tearinghair.
That was the clue that I saw if the answer is in there I will give it another go, does scullion come into it? if I still can't get it I will be doing what you name suggests. I least you mention colour. Many thanks.

[tearinghair]

No, not scullion. Think botanical.

thanks for clues, will give it another shot I don't like to be beaten.
