Pygmalion? What does the Websters Dictionary say?
6 Answers
One of the puzzles in this month's Crossword magazine has several Playfair encoded entries, from which the keyword can be deduced as Pygmalion. I am quite certain about this - it solves all of the encoded entires, and gives the encoded hint as 'Peruse Websters'. And according to the rubric, the keyword "is the alternative name of that which is used to complete the grid's unclued entry."
The unclued entry (15 letters, no number of words given) is __NT_N_I_L_RO__ but I can't make this fit with anything relevant to the Pygmalion theme. And the on-line version of Websters is no help either.
Can somebody please help with a suggestion as to what the unclued entry might be - either from the Websters entry or elsewhere?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I went onto Google to see if I could find a link with Pygmalion and your question came up. We are in exactly the same position and the answer here, Pentonville Road, seems very convincing but we can find no reason for it.
We haven't found Hercule Poirot or the rest of the sequence in the other puzzle. Have you?

Many thanks, I had highlighted those cells without realising that they were the ones containing the numbers. I still haven't seen the extension of the series.
For the other one, a kind friend has pointed out to me that there is a link between the colours and Pygmalion (look up brown) or email me at [email protected] if that doesn't give you the answer.
