    9D : Taking "amount" as definition, does "trayful" amount to amount ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Srivathsan7 July 2013 at 19:26

      Trayful, is an amount that fills a tray. That was my Line of thinking. Maybe it's not as helpful as a definition should be, but I was counting on the straightforward wordplay to make up for it.

    I'm back, sir. I can see that it's been a cakewalk for the amigos here. Hope you enjoyed solving it. Critical feedback is welcome, either here. or at vatsan.180@gmail.com. Thank you.

    Hi Spinner,

    Hope you had a good game at cricket. Thanks for the puzzle. As you wrote above at 7.19, the pitch prepared by you was a flat one with not much of turn and bounce. Let's hope you prepare a rank turner the next time, and a bouncier one another time. Liked the starred clues, which were novel
