That's almost certainly right Beckers - but it's fierce.

As I said, the rubric threw me yesterday. Hold on.

Actually, you can get c o c a i n and e out of Chan, in and moneychanger are those "odd parts = anagram", and "short = not all the letters"? Pretty convoluted if so!

Bit too convoluted HappyG. If it doesn't use all the letters it will tend to have some rule for selecting the ones used. Getting c o c a i n e here would be random, I think.

I tried to explain on the previous page. I wouldn't have a hope of solving 3 crosswords in an hour though.
