Crossbill....you need to put the number of the clue (although this is not vital). The clue. Then the number of letters with any you may have. The usual format is eg. S?N? with the known letters in lower case if you are not sure. Assume that the people you are asking do not have the actual puzzle and you won't go far wrong. Some of us like to have a go even if we don't have the puzzle. Good luck!
