stuck on last few-help please-theme=actors 26alyricist is after page 5 P?I?? 28a trap energy inside object like a motorised vehicle 7 E?G???D 19d composer accepting note should be split 6B?E?C? 23d the woman,all female,topless% S???? thanks-explanations useful
New to this so sorry not sure whether I should have started a new thread or use this one. Anyway, we finished this crossword but don't understand two answers:
2d Mediterranean island capital: sun not hot (5) M?S?N
- presumably MASON to fit with the actor theme, but why?
16d Some rigging involved American appropriating book (9) M?I?B?A?E
- presumably MAINBRACE which is part of a ship's rigging, but how does the rest of the clue fit in?
2d Mahon is the capital of Minorca and substitute h (hot) with s (sun) giving Mason
16d mainbrace is an anagram of American + b (book)
hi nick and welcome to AB - it would have been better to start your own post for this as the original poster - yellow12 - will receive e-mails for your question.
Thanks for that, dr b and JMR27. Apols to yellow12 - I'm done here now and will start a new thread next time.
Sadly never been to Minorca; and I can't believe I missed the AMERICAN anagram when other clues are much harder! Anyway, all resolved now, thanks again.
