mint

mint condition
mint can mean shakedown

Catron

No, it is sift as given below.

LesD.

After all the sifts and silts, I'm still inclined towards MINT.

As in 'he made a mint from the ransom'.

ladyalex

I went for SIFT

Catron

The answer is silt - I am a member of the new 'Telegraph Clued-up' and one is allowed up to five letter hints for each crossword - using four of those, the answer is confirmed as sift. (Though I do not like the clue either!).

Catron

Sorry typo - that should be SIFT as ladyalex says.

BigDave44

I too changed from "mint" to "sift".

johndeeby

This was discussed several pages down.

My vote is still for SILT.

Silt is the finest discrete particle obtained in shakedown:

BOULDER, ROCK,STONE,...............,SAND,.......SILT.

Particles smaller than silt homogenise into clays.

Catron

Johndeeby - if you read this, please tell why you refuse to accept what I said above about the answer being confirmed by the Telegraph itself as SIFT - thanks.
