I'm having trouble with this one as well. Any answer I come up with that seems to fit, someone has already posted that it's the wrong answer Rolling Eyes

Any more hints out there please?

Smile

I gotta say, I'm stuck. I get the hints, I've searched for a number of things but just can't bring myself to the answer. The First 10 Solves have already been claimed, so I don't know that anyone would be upset if this was Spoiled.

Ok, I can stand the suspense no longer! The cryptic meaning of the smaller lines is :
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A tickertape celebration...


Still only 9 solvers - room for one more in the hold Cap'n!

If you take out the word World from otpaaworldtdnia, the rest anagrams out to read the word ADAPTATION

Is this a clue perhaps?

My solve isn't coming fast because I'm thick.

Are the multitude of short purple lines important?

Aww Doublecross, don't be so hard on yourself! Smile

It's difficult to give any more hints on this one, without actually giving the answer away. As much as it is annoying (to myself on other cards too!) giving the game away also takes the fun away!

Oh yes I was going to say - the little lines *are* important, but in a rather cryptic way. If nobody gets this (it helps to be good at crosswords to see cryptic nonsense I guess) at the end, then I will explain.

A lot of you are doing better than you think Smile

No, they are red herrings, or possibly other scarlet marine life.
