0 plainglazed Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 knead/need hey t_mo - that's it! was worried about this one. felt I had to make these couplets a little less definitive or once the theme came out they would be too easy. wasn't sure I had left enough there to get this one. can I ask which you got first? So #1 would beCites/Sights with "s" at the end? I seem to have missed the add ons at the end. Oops. hey Thalia - right on, well done! bass/base not that maybe chord/cord oh, that's clever but not the answer you'll need in the end. cursor/curser not it, the first one makes a stronger case but think in total there's a better fit.

0 plainglazed Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 ad/add? oh no, another very sharp guess. cant quite justify the second half of the second line (the loss bit) imo. again, great guess. #5: ball/bawl or whale/wail hey hey LJ - not what I have in mind for this one but certainly see where you're coming from. Good thoughts, both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 ex, "X" Hey Dej Mar - funny, a great fit, but there was no intended 9th couplet with an answer similar in theme to the eight. the ninth is meant as a clue to a puzzle involving the eight answers resulting in a "final answer". the long lost friend I can now say refers to MrsP, a cohort here who's riddles often had answers like my theme for the eight couplets. if you care to, check out (my favorite) or any of the other links in the OP to get a better idea of the format of this one. assents, ascents do, due OR overdo, overdue 'fraid not what I'm after for this one nod, gnawed yeah, not it but get what you mean.
