I can't get started at all on the Scurra puzzle. I don't think there are any clues that I can tie down to a single answer which doesn't help in seeing what is meant to be going on. Any chance of a starting hint?

I have fixed a couple of errors in the above list (one enumeration and one sequential - thanks Bunnylump!) Hopefully there aren't any others (he says with everything crossed again.)

edit: hah. Another enumeration error (thanks LAT) for Flower / should be (7) not (6)

Well yes. :lol:

Most of my first guesses at the most obvious answers to those clues are the wrong length!

Can we assume that these are in alpha order again?

Well, I would hope so, but as we've established over 15 long years that I can't count or spell, I wouldn't rely on it. :lol:
