    Default Five easy cryptic words.

    1. Tip off, in class. (6 letter word)

    2. I've heard father uses scissors on root vegetables. (8 letter word)

    3. Filtering organ redistributes ink dye. (6 letter word)

    4. Hoodwink deal you'd say. (6 letter word)

    5. Popularity figures of ordinary seamen. (7 letter word)



    These are relatively easy but at least it will make you think a little. I hope.

    All correct Kekemo except for number 4. Look carefully at the clue and sound it out.

    Default good cryptic...

    yes I went with mislead... having "deal" & "lead" using the same letters...& hoodwinked meaning to "mislead"...but can see your reasoning & method...
    sometimes having to see where they go into a puzzle makes the difference....
    I am a cryptic "freak"....just love them....now my daughter is starting to get hooked into them also....my poor late husband always said " you need to have a warped mine to work them out...."...perhaps that's why I seem to be getting better at them....minds going more nuts every day!!!!! LOL
    keep these coming.....love them....bye
    cheers KEKEMO....need to think of something while I am working with the wood!

    Trouble is, they are very addictive some of the harder ones are too much for me so I just keep to the simple ones.

    You need even more of a warped mind to create them. Thank goodness the online ones have a cheat button. (We don't have the paper ones here, except in books.)
