Grid almost complete and I'm pretty sure I know the potential players and the fifth individual, but ... can I find them in the grid to highlight? I must be doing something stupidly wrong!
Please could some kind person enlighten me a bit?
Thanks in advance.

They are in German!

[Ripper]

Danke!!!!

[Ripper]

roslyn251254, it's me again! I've got the potential players, but cannot find the fifth individual (?robber) and the thing that separates them (no idea what this is!) Luckily I've got a German dictionary! Any chance of another nudge in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

The fifth individual is Robber - but in the same language as the others. What separates them is thematically placed in the grid.

[Neveracrossword]

I've realised the 'hint' about what separates them wasn't great, sorry - look for something that is literally between the robber and the four potential players.

[Ripper]

Is this also in German? I can't find a German or English 7 letter word reading downwards - I assume the word is vertical. Sorry I'm being megga thick today!

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, a 7-letter German word, vertical. There are only three rows between the r... and the others. (I think the 'clearly' in the preamble was a little nudge.)

[Ripper]

Thank you for being so patient with me, I had 'reversed' the letters of 15 across for some unknown reason!
Thank you SO much.

[Neveracrossword]

You're very welcome, Ripper.
