have you put stock for 45 and file for 20 or also put another word with them

[wendypol]

smouse I have stock for 45 but feel there should be something more to it, I also have file for 20. What do you have for 38 I am rubish on these anagrams

[smouse]

there is more than one which is unusual
I've gone for stapler and hod

you need to use
http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/

and go to advanced and say 2 words

I had jemmy but now cant see why other than gem - do you see why

[wendypol]

I had diamond to begin with then like you went down the jem+ line. Jemmy just came into my mind, do you think there is a hidden clue in the fact that "about" seems to be in italics? No 44 Sift gold in these is causing some thought I first thought pans then went for sieves then thought riddles but am now turning back to pans what do you think?

[wendypol]

smouse I think light has just dawned.
no 6 I'm a precious jewel -- think about it.
gem (jewel) my say to yourself gem I ( i'm a jewel)jemmy
what do you think?
wendypol1

[smouse]

yes I think now you say that that was my though and so will stick with it

my final decision on the other is pans - never liked sieves but did have riddles
I shall post it soon so I stop changing my mind

[wendypol]

you are way ahead of me I am stuck on the following if you feel like helping or pointing me in the right direction.
21 does this pair prepair for impact
23 complete extent hesitate
26 where most hair grows with added measure
29 rigorous exerciise routine
37 stares with eyes wide open
wendypol1

[smouse]

21 is two clues for same word - new shoots do that sometimes
so word for pair which is same as prepare for impact
use reverse dictionary and put in prepare for impact

23 again reverse dictionary for complete extent
then er

26 think red indian

29 and 37 again reverse dictionary

http://www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtm l

dont know if you had that but its a great site

[wendypol]

thanks smouse no I didn't have that site I am fairly new to these quizes and so struggle to get on to the right wavelength at times. I will try and work out what your clues mean

[wendypol]

Hi smouse
Am I going in the right direction with no 21 (using that web site) if I think brace?
wendypol1

[smouse]

yes
agree with brace

reverse dictionary putting in phrases is very good for new shoots

[wendypol]

thanks smouse maybe you should run classes on newshoot think. Still struggling with 23 and 29
wendypol1

[smouse]

go to reverse dictionary and type in complete extent

the answer is number 9 then add er for hesitate

perhaps you dont realise you can put 2 words into reverse dictionary


put exercise routine in reverse dictionary and its number 44

I am not being awkward not giving you the answers just trying to help for the next one lol

[wendypol]

smouse thanks no I didn't want the answer just how to track them down I didn't know that web site until you told me so your help is much appreciated.

[wendypol]

Hi smouse it's me again have just been looking at the reverse dictionary, agree with complete extent answer but can't see the logic with exercise routine why 44 and not 8 or is this a matter on personal preference?
