3d Tax-exempt hospital is underwritten by popular Hittite (7)
H?T?I?E
Only word I can see is Hotline

[dave1948]

Has no one any thoughts on this one ?

[dave1948]

I am wondering now if they have given inadvertently the answer Hittite tax=tithe without h for hospital beneath popular =hit Any thoughts ?

[Mamyalynne]

You could be right - the last word may have been lost hence no definition.

[MargoTester]

Not ignoring you Dave but don't have an answer. Popular usually insdates 'in'. Are you sure if letters you have?

[dave1948]

Thank you Mamyalynne I can find nothing other than Hittite to fill the gap which makes any sense and the letters in are corrct

[dave1948]

Thank you Margotester the letters in are right

I put in HETHITE for that one which is another more informal word for a Hittite. My reasoning was Tithe for tax, E for exempt and H for hospital. Could be totally wrong though.

Thank you Mr Porilo.

I am sure that you are right. I have only just seen your answer and it does make sense albeit in an odd way which typifies the Catholic Herald
