The Prospect

[basquaise]

45 a. the female of a young male of the smew.
I have: - E - S - L - O - T

31-d. A sojourn, once.
I have: T - R - I - N - L, could it be torsional?

Can anyone help me and thanking you in advance.

31d. Could it be 'tarriance' ?

[Dinkypuzzled]

Does that affect a letter in 45a. ?

45a WEASEL COOT
I use the Chambers site for this kind of word search
http://www.chambersha...ards/wwizards.py/main

altho it only gives TORSIONAL for 31d - which has nothing to do with Sojourn.
I suggest you might have a mistake somewhere

Thanks reg orr - a very useful resource.

31d tarriance ? if the L is wrong
