I agree with burnhal. There is a site you can go on for the annswers. http://nightmeuk.comp.members/sites/hobbies/do nslot

6numbers247 is easier if that's how you do crosswords.

I've discovered this this link doesn't work. This is how it is shown on my Favourites. Think it's the same site by Donslot.

Hi geo0939 I found I could not get onto that site, but when
I went in with that long one I give - it comes up with you
address. Its a handy site if you are really stuck, I enjoy doing the xwords and puzzles myself, I do ask for help
from ABs, we all need a little help sometimes.

Good luck

[geo0939]

Poorclare, I wasn't being dismissive of the site. It's just that when new solvers get an answer from answerbank they can get an explanation as well, which I think is more helpful, and prevents people going straight to the complete crossword. I think it really should be a last resort.
PS- It's my wife who uses thie site :-).

I agree with you. Hope your wife and you have some good luck with the competitions.
