I'm pretty sure of all the given letters.
What is the correct solution for 1 across I have combat (contended)
For 10 across I have salivate (clue produce spittle)
For 13 across I have Jehu (clue old testament king)
This is driving me potty - doing it online and when I try to submit it tells
me these answers are incorrect.
But as I don't have the crossword I can't see the grid so your info regarding 10a and 13a doesn't help me.
Let's start with the B- where does that come from?
So if we replace COMBAT by FOUGHT I assume that gives us the G for 'egregiousness'
Are you sure your O is in the right place- where is that from? Should it be a U?
