Genius 148

[saladdodger]

I have these two 7 letter ones left to do - not stated which way round they are

1 . Finished difficult part of course, drained of energy (7)
2. How teal move behind their leader in moonshine (7)

the 2 possibilities are: H?U?R?? and E?D?A?? (not certain of the D)

[bookbinder]

1 endgame?

[saladdodger]

I had that as a possibility but how would it parse?

[bookbinder]

I'm not sure about parsing, but it seemed to fit the letter pattern. I'll give it some thought. 'Finished' might fit with the whole word 'endgame', but as for the rest of the word, well, that requires some headscratching.

How teal move behind their leader in moonshine (7)


Twaddle - Moonshine

Their leader - T + Waddle

[bookbinder]

I'll have to admit defeat on this one.

[bibblebub]

1: THROUGH = finished

th(e) rough - part of a golf course

[saladdodger]

Thank you Mamyalynne for twaddle,& thank you bibblebub for through.
Thanks bookbinder for having go too!

[saladdodger]

...... and of course I forgot that those answers have to go in backwards!

[Captain2]

aaaarrrrrgggh! ;))

[Mamyalynne]

Oh

[Mamyalynne]

No need for that reply.

There is no point in doing an easy crossword all the time - what's the point. You should always strive to go one better. Perhaps this saladdodger's first attempt at The Genius.

Your criticism is very harsh diddlydo
