[MooseHunter]

Stuck on 14d

Catherine the sixth (unknown) - I have p?o?y

Only thing I can think is poofy (f being the sixth letter and y being an unknown) can't see any correlation between Catherine and poo

Just know I'm going to feel stupid when I get the answer!

[Graudian]

PARR (Catherine) Y (unknown)

[bibblebub]

Parry? 6th wife of HenryVIII is Catherine Parr, and unknown= Y

[MooseHunter]

So I must have 9,17 wrong with freeboot?

[bibblebub]

for those of us without the crossword, it's difficult to tell

[squarebear]

Any chance of the clue for freeboot?

[MooseHunter]

Having no master from the start, pro swallows back drink at far edge of green. (8)
[9 is the 1st four, 17 the 2nd four]

from the start = f
swallows back drink = reeb

17d is bath cube

Thinking freeborn?

[MooseHunter]

Got it!

It is freeborn:

Having no master from the start, pro swallows back drink at far edge of green. (8)

pro = for
swallows back drink = f reeb or
far edge of green = n

Thanks for your help folks.

[squarebear]

Glad you got there.
