10d Plainness?

[HAZELDEAN]

Thanks captain2 but my letters do not correspond with plainess, as far as I know all of my letters are correct, does anyone else have the answer to this one, thank you.

Hi Hazel, No matches found here with your letters (not saying there isn't a word though)

http://www.crosswordsolver.org/quicksolve.php?action=search&;letters=9&;word[1]=P&;word[2]=&word[3]=A&word[4]=&word[5]=E&word[6]=&word[7]=R&word[8]=&word[9]=S&word[10]=&word[11]=&word[12]=&word[13]=&word[14]=&word[15]=

plain speaking is frank.... simple styles are plain... that does sound like the answer. Where did you get the E and R from?

[HAZELDEAN]

Jno, thanks for your help, the e is from horse race, 15 ac. Obviously no contest for animals (5,4) h?r?? ?a?e r is from 18ac. Route taken outside the bounds of decorum, (anagram of route) o?t?? I AM PROBABLY WRONG WITH BOTH

those sound better, but I don't know what letters it leaves you with now

[Captain2]

Plainness, I think ;-)

[HAZELDEAN]

Many thanks to you all, no wonder I could not finish it, brain definitely not working. Should go to bed now and rest it. Many, many thanks again, goodnight.
