Good morning,

When entering the answers on the website do you need to include the dashes? i.e. as in 11 & 13 across and 4 down.
Thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

Hi Shado,

Thanks for asking about the dashes. I really don’t know the answer to your question I’m afraid. I put the dashes in when filling in the form. My opinion would be it would be okay as long as the answers are correct but I could be completely wrong. Maybe you could start a thread over in the compers chat corner and see what the majority of compers do/think?

If you would like to contact them to find out for definitate the email is pickmeup@ipcmedia.com or if your on Facebook their page is HERE.

Good luck with the comp

Hi Alison18,

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.
I will do a bit more investigating and if I cannot find an answer I will email them as you suggested.
Thanks again.

hiya, i used to post these for years on here & alison kindly took over to do them for us :A
tbh i never put dashes in the answers, just left a space inbetween if the answer was/is a 2 word answer & know friends who post these on other sites & they don't include the dashes either

i had lots of winners from the postings when i did them so imho i don't think the dashes should be added into the entry

but each person has thier own way of posting & i'm not saying they shouldn't include them
(before someone shoots me down in flames

)
as alison suggests maybe best to ask them & get clarification, hth xx

SHADO · 16 September 2012 at 6:28PM

Thanks fire**fly, I will email them tomorrow x

OnceUponADream · 16 September 2012 at 6:58PM

I may be mistaken but isn't there the - in some of the clues, ie (2-5), rather than (2,5)....let me see if I have a copy to take a peek

OnceUponADream · 16 September 2012 at 7:06PM

I've found Issue 31 - jezz I need a clearout:rotfl:

For example

1 Down ~ Clue: Olympic ball-thrower (4-6)
14 Down ~ Clue: Small Wind instrument (3,7)

So in answer to your question I personally would use the hypen when Alison uses it:)
