description of an invention - 3 letters
***s***c*t***

[fiction-factory]

3 letters or 3 words?

[scorpiojo]

13 letters?

[margarettom]

Falsification

[fiction-factory]

does each * represent a letter? And we need to split into 3 words?

[fiction-factory]

Well it fits the pattern. Maybe the clue relates to something else?

[foxhaven]

13 letters - all one word, * = ?

[scorpiojo]

Invention = lie

[fiction-factory]

well done scorpiojo

[foxhaven]

Thanks - makes sense

[scorpiojo]

Please give BA to margarettom :-)

[margarettom]

Thanks for the suggestion scorpiojo

[foxhaven]

okay have done the BA.
still can't finish it
top word clue is broadcast 6 letters - ???t?d
Down from 2nd letter clue is anomaly 9 letters ??G?a?i?n if magenta is right for 'vivid purplish pin' I thought it could be deviation but that leaves the colour being ??v?n?a

[fiction-factory]

fuschia if clue says pinK

[fiction-factory]

fucshia sorry

[Mamyalynne]

FF has it

[fiction-factory]

fuchsia! trying not to swear!

[cashier]

Vivid pin magenta?

[Mamyalynne]

Exception - Anomaly

[fiction-factory]

does that rule out deviation though?

[foxhaven]

Yes it is pink [ where did my k go ?] but fuschia wont fit with other clues
