0 itachi-san Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 it's not necessary to come up with anything new. everything you need is in the OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 would it help if I restated the last line to read: My whole is done every single day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 First I just want to say that it's good people are not voting a topic that is not concluded with an answer - well done folks. Though Itachi-san is usually a 5* player - sirens apart My first's in drum but not in table, My second's in willing but not in able, My third's in gust but not in blow, My fourth's in rain but not in snow, My fifth's in window but not in door, My sixth's in many but not in more, My last's in leave but not in stay, My whole you do every single day. would it help if I restated the last line to read: My whole is done every single day? I'm not seeing much difference on the last line - do v done .. does/did .. Important?? Not sure what to make of EVERY or SINGLE - can work without single I guess So ......Urinates Intakes uptakes Breathes exhales inhales talking etc Can you 'improve' on the last clue, as that last of yours does not seem to 'add' anything IMOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Good word, did you construct it or guess it? - I have too little time to examine the details I worked backwords from the end of the word, looking for common word endings. It just popped out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
