129d Submariner

323a Dandruff
129d Submariner?

[sunnypoppy]

Thanks for your answers but they don't fit, I have checked all down and across, the 323a only has 6 letters, and I am 99% sure of the across and down ones, anyway thanks again

[Sandy-Wroe]

There's also Seborrhea for dandruff. But that wouldn't fit either.

[Sandy-Wroe]

Submersible?

323 Dander

Can you check again that you have specified the correct number of letters for each clue. For teh avoidance of doubt please specify the number of letters in each answer.
The first one could be submarinist, which would make your E wrong. Where does the E come from?

[factor-fiction]

You say that 323A has only 6 letters but you have shown 7: D?E?E?R
Please help us to help you by clarifying the letters.

[factor-fiction]

323A is likely to be DANDER, which means your leters have not been specified correctly.
You must have a letter wrong in 129D as that will be sumarine/submariner/submarinist, depending on how many letters are in the answer.
Happens all the time with Lovatts

Are you able to update us, sunnypoppy? Have you had chance to check for us the letters you have for 129D and 323A?

Hi, thanks for all your replies, in 129d, the e at the end comes from a clue Harassed and I have put Harryed, and in the 323 across for skin flakes the come comes from cycle race's main pack which I have got as Peletre, and sorry skin flakes should have been D?E?ER, sorry about the mistakes, its being shut in, again thanks everyone

[Pentalpha8]

main pack in a cycle race is a Peloton.

[Pentalpha8]

Harried ..not harryed :)

[factor-fiction]

It's difficult to do this as I can't see the crossword, but it seems to me that if your PELETRE should be PELATRON then the skinflakes one will be DANDER.
If the 'harassed' answer is HARRIED rather than your HARRYED then I assume this leaves the last letter of 129d as an E. Assuming you are right in saying 129d has 11 letters and your letters are right, giving SUBM?R?N??E, I'm a bit stuck. Some people use the word SUBMARINATE but as a verb not a noun, although I'm doubtful as to whether it's a proper word. I still prefer SUBMARINIST . That would make HARRIED incorrect. What letters did you have for the Harassed clue?

[factor-fiction]

... sorry, meant PELOTON

Hi factor !
Just had a look at this .Haven't even started it my self yet -
It's Submersible . The N is wrong and the intersecting answer is Radial ( fish fin ) Gives I.
Al the others intersecting answers are
Bagasse giving S
Bon mot giving M
Racer giving R
Radial giving I
Harried giving E
