A rare outing for all five vowels on a day on which I was gifted a couple of words – CLUED and INGOT – after my starter words came up trumps.
However, I made the wrong decision with INFER, thinking that there would be a double letter and guessing INNER instead.
Despite missing out on a clean run, I’m pretty pleased that I remembered TAPIR – the wonderful pig-like creature with a prehensile snout.

Johnny is a freelance pop culture journalist who has been writing about the internet, music, football and famous people since the iPhone was just a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye. Previously known by the pseudonym the Pop Detective, his journalistic career began making up stories about Madonna’s addiction to sausage rolls (this is not true by the way). A man of few talents, his career is rich and various and includes the highs of interviewing Elton John and Blur; and the lows of interviewing Right Said Fred, appearing on a Channel 5 documentary about Peter Kay, and fact-checking the instruction manual for a German cooker. Somehow still affording to live in North London he is at his happiest riding his bicycle and shouting at pigeons.
