THIRD DEGREE COURSE
GAME WARDEN ASSISTED
SECOND FIDDLE STICKS
LABOUR SAVING FACE
HIDDEN TALENT SCOUT
YELLOW HAMMER DRILL
SWEET SHERRY TRIFLE

So I got the letters...CRAIITMHAT...clue is subject taught in school...I thought it was arithmetic...but I don't think there is two "A"s in it! Although my spelling isn't brilliant!

[ladyalex]

arithmetic is the correct spelling.
Could one of your As be an E ?

[Baldric]

[factor-fiction]

Is the Bus Garage one definitely right?

[bibblebub]

how are those letters derived from the link words? in particular the 2 A's

[ladyalex]

Your link showa arithmatic as a mis-spelling of arithmetic, baldric

[Baldric]

LA, does it? there was me thinking it showa arithmatic as a mis-spelling of arithmetic. Oh wait a minute!

[ladyalex]

Don't be childish, baldric. It demeans you.

[Baldric]

Why on Earth are you telling everyone what my link shows? We can all see the content by clicking on it, if you can't work it out that's not my problem!

[factor-fiction]

Crossed wires- these misunderstandings happen.
We need scheuy to respond to help us get this back on track

[Mamyalynne]

Bibble's answer is the one we need answering really. There does not appear to be a clear pattern to how the letters are lifted from the words.

[Mamyalynne]

badly worded sorry^

[Baldric]

Crossed wires? . . . Explain please, I thought it was clear enough what the link said, Gosh, I hate being confrontational.

[scheuy12]

Tried to highlight the letters but no luck, so...

CANDID CAMERA SHY (C of Camera)
THIRD DEGREE COURSE (R of Degree)
GAME WARDEN ASSISTED (A Warden)
SECOND FIDDLE STICKS (I of Fiddle)
LABOUR SAVING FACE (I of Saving)
HIDDEN TALENT SCOUT (Last T in Talent)
YELLOW HAMMER DRILL (First M in Hammer)
SWEET SHERRY TRIFLE (H in Sherry)
BUS GARAGE SALE (Second A in Garage)
ROYAL BALLET SHOES (T in Ballet)

The problem must be the A so could be the garage answer??
Thanks :)

[aelmpvw]

street bus/street sale gives an e?

[scorpiojo]

Should the connecting word gave 6 letters?

[Mamyalynne]

All your links look sound to me - it may be a mistake in the magazine and they have highlighted the wrong letter in either 'warden' or 'garage'.

[scorpiojo]

Have not gave^

[Baldric]

Looks like a setters error to me!

[Mamyalynne]

I thought the 'links' were in the middle - could be wrong.

[Mamyalynne]

'Street Bus' is an unknown to me.
