    Hi,I'm not 100% as this is way off what they do normally.From the text...........

    If you miss a day, check here the day after for the answer. You still need to unravel the anagram they form over eight days.

    I think we can keep checking the comp page here & hopefully the answer will be clear.

    After looking into this it seems that there will be 8 clues and we need the third letter of each answer for an 8 letter anagram of a famous Sheffield landmark.
    Taking info from the blank answer sheet gives the following (which I will try and update as clues are revealed - or weeowen67 can put it post #1)

    1. 8 letters. clue = Flats answer = PARKHILL
    2. 6 letters. clue = University answer = HALLAM
    3. 5 letters. clue = Devonshire answer = GREEN
    4. 3 letters. clue = Village answer = SKI
    5. 3 letters. clue = Sheffield Band answer = ABC
    6. 6 letters. clue = Tudor answer = SQUARE
    7. 6 letters. clue = Theatre answer = LYCEUM
    8. 7 letters. clue = Books answer = LIBRARY

    Anagram Answer = C R U C I B L E
