It's really difficult without any letters. I'm not even sure what the definition bit is- maybe contract ( and could be contract as in 'gets smaller' rather than an agreement). Can you try to get at least one crossing letter?
The Ladygram isn't a crossword puzzle as such. Letters from one grid become the text from a book. The author if which, is made up of the first letter of each answer, going down the grid.
To Pen388 Many thanks! I'm new to this too, and don't know how to respond to an answer!
I don't like this new Ladygram compiler, also the numbers are not jumbled up enough and no repeat numbers as I can see!!
Hi Gypsyjazz, I have more answers if you want any more help and think I will finish it tonight! A friend of mine spotted a few and we managed to get the author and the book from that and now just to fill in the gaps. Let me know if you need any more. Pen
