[Hothouse Flower]

From this weeks newsletter....I can't get 13 down on the quick clues.

"Opening anthem" 7 letters.

I have I- T- O - W

Any ideas?

 

[Jade-clothing]

I think your W might be wrong HHF - maybe the answer is Introit?

 

[Hothouse Flower]

Yes I thought it was intro something.

But my "W" is the start of a 4 letter word for AIR which I thought was wind. The third letter is N.

So if you are right and the word is introit then Air is T-N-

 

[Withnail]

Tune?

 

[Jade-clothing]

Could it be another music thing - air as in tune?
