Hi do you have any letters now for the last 2 clues - this crossword isn't what I'd call easy :o)

[TheWinner]

alchemist could it be SMITH?

[TheWinner]

'cause I was thinking like BLACK Smith and GOLD smith

[bibblebub]

but on the other thread http://www.theanswerb...s/Question924013.html the letters A??P? are provided

[boxtops]

I've seen a suggested answer for the alchemist one as ADEPT

[boxtops]

^ sorry JMR, didn't see you'd already posted that

[TheWinner]

I always thought that Adept meant "good at", and Alchemy meant metal, therefore good at working metalwork, would be a BlackSmith, or a Gold Smith?

Most people use the internet to solve a puzzle but this user is asking others to solve too many clues on the latest National Association for Retired Police Officers crossword.

[juansaponatime]

These are questions in the latest National Association of Retired Police Officers PRIZE crossword. You are being asked to help someone who could quite easily find the answers himself,as most others do, with careful use of the internet.
It is a mild form of cheating!

I think you are fighting a losing battle on that one , juansuponatime.
dicmor- it's a lot easier if you can give details of any letters .
