meganiwish Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I thought you might like to see this clue from the Guardian crossword on Saturday. I think he's played a bit fast and loose with the rules, but I still rather like it. What's down-at-heel Solti upset about? Not odd members of sextet ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meganiwish Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Sorry, no, it's eight letters. The software turned my number into a smiley. The answer does have some relevance to this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meganiwish Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 It's STILETTO. It's an anagram of Solti, indicated by the word upset, written around ett, which you get by missing out the odd letters in sExTeT. I think the setter has taken some liberties with the definition at the beginning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I thought the word "about" indicated an anagram or a back to front word...? Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganiwish Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yes, it can mean a back to front word, but in this case it seems to mean 'around'.It also often means 'c' or 're'. I can't see how it could work as an anagram marker. About, about, about about about a race (6) Or: 'Run and race wildly turning about.' Same solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
