Lego had pointed out via email that he too found 8 Down a little confusing, and I actually had to question my own choice of words in that clue. My second choice for the wording is as follows(and I hope, not as troublesome):<br />Old Yeller last seen before going mad(6)<br />Also, I had heard or read the phrase "scantily clad" before, and I did even go so far as to look up "scanty" to see if it would still work in this context, but if you think "partially" would've worked better, that's fine with me. Constructive criticism is always better than just finding fault, I say. As for this one being harder than the others, it's completely unintentional. It took me a few years to get to my current level of "difficulty".cranberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404075259072141202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930236368587920355.post-25718783423798747222020-04-26T19:45:39.255-07:002020-04-26T19:45:39.255-07:00Agreed, eco.
