ROUND FORTY SIX (still not sure if round 44 is still open)

-ALT

-AR
-END

This is harder than it seems!

[davis_greatest]

Actually, one of the words wasn't very common at all - sorry! So I have now edited it above!

For those who saw the first version, seeing which one changed may help!

[snookersfun]

SALT
NOOSE
KELP
ODD
OAR
LEND
WELLY

Are there two 'O's in knowles?

How about Knowles?:

[snookersfun]

ooops that's what I meant of course!

[davis_greatest]

Another worthy attempt!

It is very difficult when setting these questions to ensure that no other plausible answer can be found - the only thing that I made sure of this time was that I did not choose a 9-letter word, so that snookersfun could not possibly come up with ROBERTSON - and indeed KNOWLES would perhaps be a viable alternative. However, it is not the answer I am looking for.

(While "kelp" is certainly an English word, I would not consider it common enough to be used here - I tried to choose words that even the non-English natives among us will very likely know.)

So, keep looking please.

Kelp is common enough, it was Welly that had me buggered!

[snookersfun]

welly for wellington (boots)
but you are all right, I didn't really like it either.
Is it a player again?

Not a player. OK, here is (an anagram of) a clue:

MARED MORF TESYEREARY

[snookersfun]

Buggered by a welly? Ow.

Ironically on a wet day at the seaside, you could end up with kelp in your welly I guess.

For those that don't know kelp is a sort of seaweed.

Which reminds me of a joke:

"Why did the lobster go pink?"
" Because the sea weed"

It's been a long day

Congratulations again, snookersfun! That is the one! Well done.
