| All in all a somewhat disappointing set of clues compared to others since I began participating in this contest. (My own effort wasn't up to much either!) Most entries had quite poor surface readings. Most problematic though was the number of incorrect definitions – the answer is an adverb phrase meaning "completely", "totally", "in its entirety". Clues 13, 31, 35, 39 defined it as "everything", a noun. 30 used "everybody", even more strangely. 23, 36, 41, 42, 47, 48 also used noun phrases as their definitions. 15 used an adjective. Try substituting your definition for the answer in a sentence to see if it works. |
