[elliemay1]

Tongs, if your m and u are wrong.

[elliemay1]

What are the clues that gave you those letters which we think are wrong?

[joemcdsnr]

the clues are mutually cooperate and god or godess and swelling with fluid/gas

[elliemay1]

Could you please list them individually and give number of letters.

If you have the crossword, mamya, do those answers you've given affect the M and U ?
