Re: Rhyme game

Ahhhhhhhhh, the &lit indicator in clue 1 should have made this more obvious. But I overlooked it anyway. I usually really like self-referential clues. Including this one. :)

Re: Well known phrases and sayings

I'm pretty sure I will know it after I've been nudged into remembering. The trouble is, there are too many silly alternatives that come to mind first, like Pirates Walking Yellowbeard's Plank.

Re: Well known phrases and sayings

This is harder than the Rhyme game one. The only thoughts I can make merelyget as far as
P... While/When/With You/Your P...

Or silly things like Please Water Your Plants

Insert comment about how this is true of every puzzle ever. :lol:
Did you try this one as well? Or have come across the technique? What did/do you think?

Please go on
