You just sounded unsure...

Just seeing if it was forgotten, and might have fit. :)

Sounds good.

The only one left to answer is if it is MOLE or MILT, I say we ask for it.

the clue is Sanchez Switched him off, both of them fit.

Ok, taking charge again.

I saw we ask for the answer to

"Sanchez turned him off", seeing that fills the gap in the last one that I posted.

What do you say?

If I get no response in 10 minutes I am going to do it anyway, since we have little time left.

I am sure MILT is the answer, but this doesn't fit with the E in the solution that Matt posted?

Can it be anything else with the letters M_LE? Mile? Male? I mean Milton Krest was a MOLE of sorts?

Frat...I will second you if you disagree, we are so close.

What options do we have? I say go for it. It's the last word so you might as well.
But then again, can we afford to?

Well MILT or MOLE couple work, it is like this M_L_ and either word would suit the clue.

I posted what the cross word is up a couple of posts, make sure you check it out.

It will mean we only get 9,000 points for the challenge, along with the 1,000 we lost earlier on.

Still it may be the difference between 9,000 points or none at all. CALLING 'FEARLESS LEADER'.

Go for it. Ask for the word. We have a 50/50 chance of getting it wrong if we don't so it's better we get the word and at least get some points than picking the wrong one and losing the challenge.

TWO things Frat.

1. Why suddently Milt?
2. In what language is E the last letter of milT. AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE.

Just want to be sure by the time the challenge closes.

See, MILT doesn't f0ti in anywhere else, so I am guessing that the E was to throw us off, seeing it was such a big clue, would cause some confusion.

But why then was the letter E in the Clue crossword? Unless that was meant to throw us.

Yes. Of course. Bigness is a factor I completely overlooked.

This is nothing like a regular crossword. In those you have numbers and you know where the words go. The clues often only limit you to a particular word.

This thing is a whole other game so don't compare them.
