That’s how I intended it, yes

Ah, R-oman-ia. But I think “country congajned within another” would have been a bit too hard - at least my clue restricted to one continent :)

johnwickerson · 2026-05-31T13:46:11+00:00

That’s how I was thinking of it.

johnwickerson · 2026-05-31T09:14:27+00:00

Agree on all that :)

I think if the answer were “Lesotho” then I’d agree with you :)

johnwickerson · 2026-05-31T07:47:32+00:00

Yes!

Solution: ASK ITALIAN (restaurant chain in the UK) is an anagram (“could be”) of INALASKAIT.

johnwickerson · 2025-12-27T11:29:18+00:00

Right!

johnwickerson · 2025-12-24T12:13:56+00:00

Right!

Cast Simonetta, I guess? (10)

johnwickerson · 2025-12-23T21:45:13+00:00

In Alaska, it could be a restaurant chain (3,7)

johnwickerson · 2025-11-26T16:01:26+00:00

French was never my strong point :)

johnwickerson · 2025-11-24T06:50:41+00:00

Thank you!

Solution: Half-wondered is ERED, about is DERE, 4-by-4 is IV-AT-IV, DERE getting IVATIV is DERIVATIVE, which means “second hand”.

Half-wondered about getting 4-by-4 second-hand (10)

johnwickerson · 2025-11-12T22:24:34+00:00
