Hi katy - sorry, I'm not sure what you want answered?

If this is a crossword, can you post the full clue, number of letters & any you've placed? :-)

[boxtops]

any particular bit?

[paddywak]

can we have a question please?

[katydimwit]

Doh, haven't got the hang of this yet... Does anyone have the answer. Two five letter words which cross over in a letter L format - ie last letter of first word forms first letter of the second. Uses the letters A C H I M O R T V. The answer appeared in Thursday's express which I'm sure I bought but can't find??

[Lie-in King]

Yuk & eeuuugh, but -

Chart / Vomit

[Lie-in King]

Sorry, should have added a ?, as I'm not certain that's the answer...

[katydimwit]

The only word I could get to use up the V - tricky without an E - was VOMIT which would mean the second word would start with a T and left the letters HARC so I guess it can't be right. Any ideas anyone?

[katydimwit]

Thanks but if vomit is right the second word would have to start with T, or if chart was right I would be left with the letters T (to start the word) IMOV. I'm stumped!

[Lie-in King]

I'm rubbish at these... Vomit / Ratch can't work either, can they?..

[writesbad]

Mirth (down) Havoc (across)

[Lie-in King]

Nice one, writesbad :-)

[writesbad]

Thanks, LIK, you've made me blush. Praise from such a source....
All the best :-)

[katydimwit]

Thank you so much, I have been staring at this for ages. Darn - no excuse for not finishing the ironing now!
