Still looking for the second one ....

[Captain2]

Well, 'con' is given as a synonym here

http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/prevaricate

but can't seem to find a definition of the word - anybody with Chambers, OED, etc?

[scorpiojo]

Are you sure of the letters seekz?

[seekeerz]

Yes, pretty much , Jo ....I've double checked, there's not much else they could be, but thanks to you both ....back to the drawing board then :))

[scorpiojo]

What gives the U, seekz?

[seekeerz]

The cross answers are Ecuador and Lunar, the third letter in each one ...U and N, I can only think they've made an error with the clue.

[Captain2]

Wonder if they've spelled Ecuador as Eucador that would give you jo's C?N

[seekeerz]

That's my thought too, Captain ...we've had problems like that before, guess I'll just have wait for next week to see.
