Monthly Puzzles
Re: Monthly Puzzles
I have been down in Kent to see Monkey for his birthday and dad to... see him. Back to wok now. I'll sneak a few looks soon, I hope.
LAT & I have made a good stab at identifying some of the pictures. We have a pretty good idea of the theme, I think. Not really a clue yet about the coloured border tiles.

Re: Monthly Puzzles
...and LAT has worked out what the missing picture is! Well done!

Re: Monthly Puzzles
The letter count helped a lot, as did a little crossword dictionary I have which lists words by subject matter and then by length.
Oh, and a helpful page on Wikipedia

Re: Monthly Puzzles
I do realise that most people haven't even had a chance to look at the last puzzle yet - but I won't be here to post the October puzzle at the end of the month. So I'm putting it here early this time. Sorry about that!

Thanks, I think!

Re: Monthly Puzzles
So is anyone looking at this? I have identified quite a few of the people but still have lots of gaps. Would love to discuss/trade answers!

Re: Monthly Puzzles
I really enjoyed this one. Google image search helped a lot! But when the penny dropped about the next stage I was very happy!

Re: Monthly Puzzles
Hi Paula, maybe try the one with all the wine? (March, if I remember correctly!) Happy to give major shove if needed!
Please note that for some unknown reason I can only get on here on my phone using mobile data ( can't use laptop or WiFi but literally ONLY on this site!)
IOW I won't be here as often as I would like.
So if I haven't replied you could always send me a message on Messenger instead. X

Re: Monthly Puzzles
Well done Biscuit!
Do ask if you want hints on any of the others (except the latest as I haven't had time to tackle that yet!)
