[scorpiojo]

Any letters for the other clues?

[scorpiojo]

..is it not 1a, millycat?

[andychi]

I think 1a is brutish
1d raspberries
6d rock and roll
26a is 7 letters but havent figured it out yet

[Captain2]

That's what is puzzling me too; I didn't think the SE Skeleton was a 'square' crossword ie 11 by 11 so was thinking of shorter answer but beginning with R from 1d

[mallyh]

there is no 1 across

[Millycat]

2a I have brutish

[Captain2]

andychi - 1A must start with same letter as 1D

[scorpiojo]

Thank you xx

[Millycat]

The grid is 15 x 11
