      #4a If I go down the BACKSTREETS I have to look LENGTHWAYS for anyone with a SWITCHBLADE DOWNTHRUSTING like a CORKSCREW causing me to go swimming and do the BACKSTROKE and BREASTSTROKE

      Ok, I am hazarding a guess for #1

      Is it Supervise as all the other words, if changed to

      Advertiser
      Compromiser
      Despiser
      Organiser
      Reviser

      but Supervise becomes SupervisOR

      So all the words when changed from the verb to a noun end in ER but supervise ends with OR

        Good answer, Jezza but not the one I was looking for. You are on the right lnes, though.

        What do you need to know on #4?

        • #1068568

          Actually, I meant #2 stupidme And it’s the solution I need! smile

            grin I thought so:

            Midday starting block last of the Mohicans second in command bottom of the barrel second guess at wit’s end beginning of the end starting line early years”?

            Midday = A
            starting block = B
            Last of the Mohicans = S
            Second in command = O
            Bottom of the barrel = L
            Second guess= U
            at wit’s end = T
            beginning of the end =E
            starting line = L
            early years= Y

              Now that’s a mighty fine puzzle. clever thumbup I wish I would have thought of it.
