    Why's that? Unties is a word. "undo or unfasten (something that is tied or tied up)."

    Rises from the dead - un dies. Zanderman is right. Perhaps they will the we all made the same spelling mistake - some hope!

    The clue is: Rises from the dead? Pants!

    Un dies. Undies (as in underwear)

    Midnighter is forgiven. I'd never be able to complete it without their help every fortnight :D

    Why? Because it's the wrong answer to the clue! You can't just fill a crossword with words, they have to be the right words!
