//Filling Oriental credit card against salesman's return//
Has anyone solved this one yet?
Have been trying to get a word ending with 'per' (rep reversed) and including 'cc' for credit card and maybe 'ori' for Orient

cashier

I've been trying the same as you elliemay. Per at the end but with E for Oriental as well as Asian, Chinese etc.

elliemay1

Thanks for replying , cashier. There's not much traffic on Crosswords etc today so have been devoting spare time to this qn and it's frustrating, wish someone would solve it!

cashier

That's why I looked when I saw your name. I thought thank goodness elliemay has got it and then I read what you wrote!

cashier

Could really do with Kath coming back hopefully with a letter pattern.
