[fiction-factory]

sorry, ignore that- just realised square is in the clue

9. Oystercatcher fits the letters and is a bird. I’m not sure how the start of the clue fits.

[fiction-factory]

Not sure if it matters but I think 11a clue should say ROUND not AROUND

11 Sleek

[fiction-factory]

11a sLeek fits the clue but not your letters

[fiction-factory]

I meant GLAZE

[Calibax]

^^Native is a type of oyster, fielder - catcher

[Fitzys]

Thank you jazzy Jen for oystercatcher and yes, fiction factory , clue should read round, not around.

[fiction-factory]

I think GLAZE (L in GAZE) works best

[fiction-factory]

round and around both work (I initially wondered if it was O for round or C for around but it turned out to be neither)

[Fitzys]

Thank you, not sure about glaze as it doesn’t fit with 6 down...... softsoaps as answer to clue “ Flattery works in TV serial “. 6 and 4 letters.

[fiction-factory]

but SOFTSOAPS isn't 6,4

[Captain2]

'softsoaps' isn't (6,4) though?

[cashier]

Softsoaps has nine letters not 10

[fiction-factory]

soap opera?

[Captain2]

soap operas -if (4,6)

[fiction-factory]

soap opera or operas looks okay

[fiction-factory]

opera is the works

[Fitzys]

Sorry. My mistake !! Soft soaps clue says 4 and 5 letters. Soap operas wouldn’t suggest flattery.
