[ladyalex]

Looks like 6 letters shown, mallyh.

Aching, maybe ??

[yogasun]

How many letters Longing is great but doesn't match up to your spaces. How many in each word?

[sandyRoe]

pining?

[janrei]

Thanks everyone. Both aching and pining sound good but I really need the answer to the very low price clue before I know which one fits.

Aching

[Mamyalynne]

nae wirth: of no use or value, paltry
wae wirth: woe befall, a curse upon!

Crikey Mamya, we live and learn! Never heard of it!

[Mamyalynne]

We do indeed.

[janrei]

Thank you Mamyalynne. I'm sure you're right but that leaves me with a problem with a strong desire or yearning. I now have _r_ing.

[yogasun]

urging?

[Psybbo]

ardent?

[janrei]

Thankyou Yogasun. I've just checked my thesaurus and it's there. This is my first time on Answerbank and I must say I'm impressed. Thanks again.

[yogasun]

We aren't a bad bunch, welcome to AB.

Janrei. Welcome to answerbank. You are impressed with the site. I am impressed with you too - you gave us letters and spaces and title for crossword, knew how to add to your own thread and awarded a best answer. It doesnt get much better than that - especially on a first post!

[yogasun]

Agree grasscarp! When janrei said it was a first post I was amazed and checked as all the rules were followed! Don't mean to sound patronising janrei but it's just that long time users don't get it right now!!
