Round Robin XVIII - Solution
Theme
Homage to John Nicholson (Wan)
on his retirement after seventeen Round Robins. Answers derived from the
preamble were: “Man of Letters” (scholar), “Tabulae Rasae” (cartes
blanches), “Bring To Light” (show up) and finally “Chapeau to Wan” (congratulations
on his achievement), which needed to be shown up ie highlighted.
All entries forming part of
the round robin were of six letters.
