But the 'hen' answer wasn't consecutive and if there's that many questions the setters will be tearing their hair out trying to find enough words with totally consecutive solutions. Crikey, some may even be anagrams!
Good luck, anyway x
Thanks again bookbinder and Mammar, my mistake there as I read it as "ave" = hen, but, obviously couldn't find definition, "corcass" is good for definition and "orca", never mind the setters I don't have much hair left!!!!!!!!!!!!!
