This weird website is maddening ! How does one put a question ? How does one reply to others' questions ? How doe one thank others ? Sometimes, one types: 'Bogsworth Echo 2341 10A Large hairy dog (29)' & gets answers. Sometimes one cannot begin to start to see where to commence. Aaaaargh !

[Tilly2]

Goodness! It's not that difficult. Read the instructions.

Apologies if this is not the way to put questions; sometimes, it's easy; more often, not...

Thanks, Shooty, esp, 4 the explanation. I was hooked on AB... As for 'The Instructions', they eluded me.

Hi mortg2jl. If you are in a thread like this you can't directly set up a new question thread. You need to click on Crosswords in the menu on the left- this will then reveal the window/box at the top for setting up a new crossword clue. There is a title builder to help you.
Anyway, you seemed to have asked questions successfully before
