Looking for a seven letter word...only one fits.
Hint if you think you have got it in seconds...you haven't. Check the dictionary spelling of what you think it is and you will find that it is wrong. I very much made that mistake.A N ? ? ? M E
When it came on the radio got it in seconds...but when the reveal came I found what I thought was the correct answer wasn't and indeed your ANYTIME was the correct answer Gibbo. Well done.
Yes I thought straight away ANENOME, downed tools and thought it was far too easy...but that's not how it is spelt.

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
When I were a lad the teacher would have rapped knuckles for this: ..."but that's not how it is spelt." , spelt is a grain, a species of wheat, the word you need is spelled, not that it matters in the modern world.

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
It is indeed Gibbo, Well Done
I do 50% disagree on the use of spelt though and will continue to use it if the need arises. Spelt is the more common past participle used in UK English although both are acceptable.
Plenty column inches on the net but in another use of a past participle in the present tense, It is finished. Others may wish to pedantically debate the point not me!

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Struggled with this one...just got it...couldn't see it so resorted to a spreadsheet, eliminating the impossible and out the answer popped eventually. A good hour off and on!NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑02 Nov 2023, 13:37 ..and the next one please...
