Excites

[donny48]

I am rather confused by the way you question is set out, could you clarify ?

[fiction-factory]

alert?

[dannyk13]

Anent

[Flonska]

Anent?

[fiction-factory]

I can see the definition and the anagram of EAT but not the NN

[dannyk13]

A bit convoluted but anagram of Annette(Mills) minus et(sounds like eat) I think.

[fiction-factory]

thanks danny- I never thought of a person called Mills.
I don't understand EXCITES either- I can see the definition and the EX but i am not sure where CITES comes - something to do with 5?

[dannyk13]

Loosely connected with message

[fiction-factory]

Very loosely. If that's it the setter has been very lazy

[davey b]

Thanks folks

[Myopsteacher]

Misprint for About 3 eat.

[dannyk13]

What is 3?

[Myopsteacher]

misprint About 3 eat

[Myopsteacher]

Names NN

[dannyk13]

Is that the clue or are you saying there is a misprint?

[dannyk13]

Thank you.It makes sense now,

[fiction-factory]

Thanks. Makes sense now.
Is there a misprint with teh clue for the other clue too? Maybe a word missing?

[davey b]

Thanks again. 3 answer is NAMES so EXCITES makes sense now!

[dannyk13]

Looks like we got the correct answers from the wrong clues.lol
