Unfortunately I can not get any closer your amazing results here

keep 4 down for 3

Thanks again @King od Hearts.

I'm retiring for the night. I have to get up early to go out of town.

These are some more clues in additional to the other ones from Pa's last entry except in his clue , the 4d, 5d, 6d, do not come back down. That changed . Check to make sure you are using the clues. Sometimes I make the mistake of not using one, when I haven't figured it out for myself, and that will keep you from either solving it or getting lowest moves.

9 first

3,4, and 5 play over and up

King of Hearts, I've tried everything and I'm 11 moves off the mark! Great clues everyone.

Funny jokes Harleyman and Zaphod! Also, glad you're joining in the fun Zaphod Gotta go tonight, but maybe I'll have one for you tomorrow night!

Joanne , better late than never.
