Oliver Lines?

Nope. This clue points to a single player. I'll give some more hints tonight if nobody gets it.

Original Clue: Measured Typist

This is a small clue, but it works just as well (if not better) the other way round:

Typist Measured

It’s not Barry Pinches, is it?

Typing a page

None correct so far, but I think you're all getting warmer.

Andrew Pagett?

Words per minute could be a time trial “TT” of typing a page?

Not Pagett but your logic is piping hot.

Great guess! :hatoff:

I tried to make something from WPM too, but I didn't consider nicknames.

That was a good ‘un. Good clue and well solved :-)

Jamie O'Neill?

Purely for the backwards Neil in client. Probably a red herring though.

Re: 2 Word Clue

Postby Iranu

Not McLeod or O’Neill

Re: 2 Word Clue

Not Jamie Jones.

I’d be interested to know some of your logic on these guesses because from what I can see they’re not particularly close but it’s hard to tell.

Erised took me to Harry Potter and Desire backwards. I thought of the Pinner Potter but couldn't link client or Martin Gould.
I noticed client reversed is T neil C so thought it could be the only triple crown winner named Neil

Okay, so Harry Potter is the correct reference. Erised is the first step of that particular clue - you don’t need a deeper dive into the lore than Erised > Harry Potter.

Everything else is not right.

Mags?

Harry Maguire > Stephen Maguire

Re: 2 Word Clue

Not Mags. The name Harry, or any other character name, is not relevant.

Higgins? The Wizard…

Re: 2 Word Clue

Postby Iranu

Not Higgins.

The first clue links to the first name, although I do think the second clue is more likely to lead you to the answer.

Erised itself is important, though not for anagram/wordplay or any other “linguistic” trickery reasons.

I guessed Rory McLeod because Erised is the Mirror of Desire (desire backwards), and 'mirror' backwards is: rorrim > rorri-m > Rory M

Additional clues. The first of the below adds more context to “client”. The second clarifies what aspect of “Erised” you should be focusing on (it’s been alluded to above).
