| Some wrong parts of speech and dubious definitions. Some clues define prolix in terms of speech only – of course it can apply to writing as well. A common weakness is the use of LIX as Roman numerals to indicate one or more irrelevant numbers. I found it impossible to separate my top five, so 3 points each to 23 27 34 41 55. |
