This is probably the hardest of all the clues... I keep forgetting that not everyone is a diehard cryptic fan  I promise they get easier!! Part One of the clue You might need a thesaurus to help you a little with this one.
Avian Refuge = Bird Sanctuary
Where do birds live? Where do the Agyllians live? In the E _ _ _ _
Say that really fast. What does it sound like? That will give you the board. Part Two of the clue There is an anagram in here. 2 of the words, the ones starting with c and h when rearranged will give you the thread. Part Three of the clue The 'Hidden' clues you into the fact that there's a name in amongst these words. It will begin in one word and end with another. This will tell you where in the thread to look for Wilbur. Hope this was helpful! |

Okays...that did clear things a little. At least I'm looking on the right board! clangs heels? The only anagram I can pick up is changes sell...is the thread on the first page on the board in question? Or do we have to hunt through the pages of threads  ? |

You're close on the Anagram... It's one word. The word is plural. It's also another word for competitions The Thread is not on the first page of the board. It was a good thread though - we should revive it  |

I'm having fun  If I'm having trouble with the same clue, can I use the clues you gave Min? Just wondering if they're supposed to change for each person. Probably not, but I just thought I'd check |

The last of the cryptic clues The rest are more puzzle like Part One of the Clue This one you have to think laterally. It's a word association clue. What do you think of when I say 'nuts'... As in You're completely nuts... and he's holding them 'up'. One of the Boards has a subtitle that might help you make sense of this clue. Part Two of the Clue Hellenic Roots - Greek Beginnings. What are the first greek letters? What do they call them? The fact that it's partially consumed gives you a big hint Break out the thesaurus to find the thread... Part Three of the Clue Luckily - can you think of any 'lucky' numbers.' This will give you the page number |

Thanks However, I am in need of prod in the right direction with clue 6... That rhyme is on the wall in my Maths classroom... but moving on, is it do do with poetry? Or am I on the complete wrong track. It's very possible |

It's a quotation... and it's also a puzzle of sorts. Search the board and the thread will be obvious...
