Well I suppose ESSAYS must be right but ASSAYS is the word defined in the clue ( attempts )

Although I have seen in my dictionary that ASSAYs could be ATTEMPTS, ESSAYS, TRY and SEEK.

Everyman never used to be this hard !

Rather finding this crossword malarkey interesting. Never tried the Times as I thought it would be too high brow for me but did it recently and got a fair few clues. Struggling with the i though.

No not really! In the past I would struggle but was often amused by answers.

I suppose the setter must have known that ESSAYS and ASSAYS would cause confusion, which is his job after all !
