Guardian

[Darh]

If groups of ten is decades then there is an s as third last letter of collections which means it can't be ensembles

[Mamyalynne]

Decimal?

a bit of a long shot

[Mamyalynne]

Decadal?

[Captain2]

Is 'groups of ten' the full clue Darh?

Which Guardian crossword is it?

[Mamyalynne]

I've had a look through a few from this week and can't find it Cap'n.

[Captain2]

Me neither Mamya, that's why I asked. :))

[Togo]

Assemblies?

[Captain2]

That's 10 Togo; looking for 9 apparently

[Togo]

Could be Decimal and Assemblies. No other letters to go on though./

[Togo]

Ensembles fits then Capito. The crossword would be a help I suppose.

[Captain2]

Togo (pay attention); it can't be 'assemblies' 'cos that's 10 (I used up all my fingers and thumbs when I counted).
;)))))

[Captain2]

Damn; now we've crossed posts.

[Mamyalynne]

Both answers given and no real feedback Togo.

[Togo]

Lol Darh, needs gentle advice to keep the same thread going. I have plumped for Decimal and Ensembles and switched off. :))

[Togo]

Decimal fits group of ten better surely. Decimals were supposed to make adding up easier. :((
