Re: Crossword Help
Can't get many anagrams out of "Fair Fool" - floor, flair, offal, frail
So maybe that is the wrong tack.
Perhaps "Fair Fool" refers to Clown os something else which is then anagrammed
Do you have any letters so far?

Re: Crossword Help
I was thinking that "situation, finally" could simply mean to include the last few letters of situation ... and then to mix it up with "identical", with the answer being "Minor"
"Incidental" could work

I don't ignore posts made by you, I just don't respond often.

And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

Re: Crossword Help
I think "incidental" is right; I'm sure "passable" is right.
Please, can someone tell me, where are the threads on crossword clues?
I want to find out what people's favourite clues are, especially short clues.
