Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

But Caliban's suggestion of Welles, Welles and Wells is the opposite isn't it - by having one less letter? I confess I hadn't looked at the question until this morning and I'm stumped for any alternative answer!

That is a very good point, Anna, which eluded me in the mental fog which always seems to descend when attempting one of Cloughie's puzzles... I should have thought of John Wilson. Still prefer my Welles solution though <sulk emoticon>



On the road visiting an ailing relative, I'm afraid, not able to pad up and stroll out to the crease at the mo.

questions worked out in advance like everyone else does)

W-w-w-what? Do they? I don't (apart from the odd occasion when I've thought: oh that would make a good T - or whatever - and then I usually forget... or don't get the letter to set....)

I just assumed, from the speed at which a new question appears sometimes that people have a little notebook with sundry puzzles listed alphabetically! And people often say, 'here's one I prepared earlier' ...........

OH! maybe you're right! That would be weird though With all due respect to anyone who does it, of course!!

To quote Jonny Mac 'You cannot be serious'. Any pre-planning like that would seriously damage the spontaneity of the game.

I'll do a Y if you like mercia if you really don't want to set one
Edit: No response from mercs, think that means he's working on one so we'll wait for him.

think that means he's working on one

Both posts have the same timestamp - I think we've had her before (btw has anyone here heard Rose of Persia?)

[cloughie]

Snap, cloughie!!

I'll let you have the Z or A as I will not be around much today to service replies, or maybe Anna wants a go!

[mercia]

I think we've had her before

yes I wondered that but she doesn't appear in the archives, unless she's amongst the Ellens

Probably one of the Ellens but perhaps she may have been referenced if we had the word Rose or Persia or even Sullivan? I know she's very familiar
