Crossdoubt

[Caran]

Has anyone managed to do the Crossdoubt puzzle in the daily express.
You have to make two intersecting five letter words from the following letters.

They intersect on the middle letter.
Thanks for any help.

Good luck Caran!

[Caran]

Thank you everyone for help and good wishes. I can have another 15 minutes then that's it!

...or maybe the grid is wrong

[bhg481]

You will put us out of our misery tomorrow, won't you?

[Caran]

Oh my lord. I have the grid wrong!!!! I am so sorry. The grid still intersects on the middle letter but like this.

I have checked the grid before and didn't notice it.
What a plonker!

[elliemay1]

The grid you show doesn't intersect on the middle letter!

[bhg481]

It's a good job we don't know where you live Caran. Nevertheless, I think I'd stay indoors for a day or two if I were you.

[elliemay1]

Have you gone into hiding already Caran??

[Mamyalynne]

I sent the 'boys' round - they're big too.

[Caran]

I think it was the excitement and anticipation of my date!

[Caran]

That wasn't how I typed the grid, I changed after I submitted. It does cross on the middle letter across.

[Caran]

^it not I.

[elliemay1]

Before you go out to enjoy yourself will you please print the correct grid??

[elliemay1]

So would maker and plank fit then?

[elliemay1]

Phew! Need to lie down in a darkened room!

[pixie374]

2nd letter of one word is the same as 3rd on the other?

[bibblebub]

It's done it again. It changes as I submit it.
first line has one letter
Second line has five letters centering on first line
Three, four and five lines have one letter each centering as above.
