The Baron Next-Door
31 October, 2012
Prepared to believe this whimsy may backfire bigtime, but let’s give it a whirl. Taking a leaf from Noah Webster’s reformed dictionary, where phonetic spelling is king (or KWEEN), let’s convert other awkward words to their logical SEEKWENTS, and mix’m to make a clue.
Flippant right? But it could be fun. Take NABOR, say, being Noah’s new version of neighbour. Treat that tweak as the word’s new spelling, so opening the way for a clue like: Peer next-door [BARON/NABOR]. In the same way Joint prison (4,4) could be RIST STIR. Unravel the list below, then supply your own, with byline and numbering.
- Pepper crowd (3,3)
- Vampire symbol (4,4)
- Classy cutter (4,4)
- Joy Division? (4,4)
- Join bone (7,7)
- Ignores Oz city (6,6)
Enny mor? Byline & number if you get the urj.
