I agree with ledge, it's hard to see the relationship between 'overall' and the answer
on the earlier one, d'oh. I was thinking of R as 'king' and trying to work around that.

Net = taking everything into account, it's like a straight definition
― killfile with that .exe, you goon (wins), Wednesday, 5 August 2015 12:19 (ten years ago)
yeah that's fine IMO
― Neil S, Wednesday, 5 August 2015 12:21 (ten years ago)
I can see how that works but:
2: covering or including everything
my salary, including everything (ie tax) = gross
So it's ambiguous - imo - but legit.

Did that puzzle this morning on the train. I thought "overall" was fine, but elsewhere "ending in rubble" = E threw me. I kept trying to put "dreams ending" (S) into a word for rubble.

On another note, a setter used UFFIZI as part of a clue last week. Seems a bit arcane, or maybe my world gallery knowledge is not all it could be.
― Half as cool as Man Sized Action (Dan Peterson), Monday, 17 August 2015 16:56 (ten years ago)
what was the clue? Uffizi is one of the world's greatest galleries...

yeah that seems fair enough tbh
― anthony braxton diamond geezer (anagram), Friday, 4 September 2015 10:17 (ten years ago)
Oh yeah, totally fair. I'd just never heard of Uffizi.
― Half as cool as Man Sized Action (Dan Peterson), Friday, 4 September 2015 13:29 (ten years ago)
I think my other problem with this is Uffizi is *a* gallery, but it's not a synonym for gallery.

OK, helped by the fact that is on TV as we speak...
I thought broadcast was an anagram indicator, not a homophone indicator... Makes some sense though.
― koogs, Sunday, 20 September 2015 21:11 (ten years ago)
