At least one guess so far has had at least one word correct. :D

OK, it's a guess that's on this page (#14), so that narrows it down to three. :lol:

Oh, so it's not Simple Like Herding Cats then?
Because Puzzlebrains is clearly Simple and Obvious.

That seemed a good shot, I take it it isn't correct though?

Well unless Scurra missed the references to Cats, Like and Simple and failed to understand the "Heard" pun, I guess not.

I'm obviously being very slow over here. :D
But it's got nothing to do with herding cats. "Like" is correct though (but I think you'd all guessed that.)

If you wait any longer, they won't be. Indeed, to be perfectly honest, that was true shortly after I posted the original... :lol:

(Yes, this is an intensely irritating clue because it only really works if you know what the answer is. :D But it's mostly because I can't think of a good one!)

I'm not sure if that "ugh" is directed at me, or at yourself, or at everyone in general? :lol: (But yes, that's correct.)
