Hi Quinie, it makes me wonder if the question is correct ! or the right number of letters. I had been given Paterson as an answer pater(son) but there is no an island of that name. do not know how the answer came to being.
I've tried every 8-lettered word for prodigal and put them into anagram solver but no luck. Looked into story of the prodigal son but again drew a blank'Pater-son-pater means father but as you say no island of that name.
guilliebrougues, I give up! I've checked 8 letter islands and none seem to fit. As you said perhaps the setter has made a mistake or we're on the wrong track. Any way of contacting the setter? Has anyone doing this quiz got the answer? If yes please,please tell us.
Thank you sibton. I've just googled it and got info about it. Think it wasn't a very good clue( not because I didn't solve it!)' Mixed up usually indicates an anagram.
