Spec 2346 The Name Of The Game

help-have finished the grid but can't get my head round the five letters which must be highlighted-they need to be added to bride,sol,action,whit and contact to form five more words,which treated sigly or in pairs form 9 items.one is a synonym for pontoon-just the 5 letters would help,preferably in sequence

[Davemano]

If I'm on the right track, does Lifer fit. brid(l)e so(i)l (f)action
whi(s)t cont(r)act

[Neveracrossword]

Davemano, it's not an actual word - just five separate letters to be added. If you think that pontoon is a 'brid?', the second word indicates what you're looking for - and the title is a big help!PS Some of your letters work!

[Davemano]

So the Bride could be Bridge(pontoon)

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, that's it- and two of your earlier words fit, thematically.

[Davemano]

Whist was wrong. Maybe Gofer?

[Neveracrossword]

No, I think Whist was correct - I've no longer got my copy. The five letters don't form a word.

[yellow11]

many thanks-got it!

[Neveracrossword]

You're welcome. Glad you got it finished.

[Davemano]

So am I. I thought the five letters had t make a word, however, we live and learn.
Strange no other help was forthcoming.
