Am still puzzling over no 1
The clue is normally slightly different ...."It's no secret; lets a long breath out".. and several sites suggest OVERT but I cant see why yet. I'm looking at anagrams but no success.
Is that definitely the answer??
Meant to type usual clue as "It's no secret: lets a long breath out"
can overtone mean a long breath?
Then leave ONE (a) out?
so OVERT(one)
lets - over(sigh)t?


It's no secret - overt

Lets long breath out - over(sigh)t?





yours is better but still dont seem quite to me... even if the clue says LET not LETS is 'let' really an oversight???
Question Author
bobbin and geev, let me thank you both for your input. Your suggestions are very plausible. Firstly geev; Taking a printers proof to 'Let it stand' (stet) is to include something in the script that was previously cancelled - This could easily be interpreted as an 'Oversight' as you had mentioned. Secondly bobbins, I admit that it was an oversight on my part to miss out the letter 'a' when typing out Clue No.1 - Apologies. However with the inclusion of 'a' makes your hypothesis very possible too, On the proviso that Overtone is a synonym for Long Breath. Thanks again guys!
I prefer geevos- my overt(one) don't really work as the A (ONE) is in the wrong place as its not next to the word 'out'
Anyway is it defintely OVERT? Danword can be wrong.
