Five easy cryptic words.
1. Tip off, in class. (6 letter word)
2. I've heard father uses scissors on root vegetables. (8 letter word)
3. Filtering organ redistributes ink dye. (6 letter word)
4. Hoodwink deal you'd say. (6 letter word)
5. Popularity figures of ordinary seamen. (7 letter word)
These are relatively easy but at least it will make you think a little. I hope.Reality is no background music.
Cheers John

All correct Kekemo except for number 4. Look carefully at the clue and sound it out.

good cryptic...
yes I went with mislead... having "deal" & "lead" using the same letters...& hoodwinked meaning to "mislead"...but can see your reasoning & method...
sometimes having to see where they go into a puzzle makes the difference....
I am a cryptic "freak"....just love them....now my daughter is starting to get hooked into them also....my poor late husband always said " you need to have a warped mine to work them out...."...perhaps that's why I seem to be getting better at them....minds going more nuts every day!!!!! LOL
keep these coming.....love them....bye
cheers KEKEMO....need to think of something while I am working with the wood!Don't think you're playing it safe by walking in the middle of the road.....that's the surest way to get hit by traffic coming from both ways!
