I just need this one to finish the crossword. Thought it was going to be overbinge but the other letters seem to be right. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[dannyk13]

Overbinge? what is the clue giving the 'r'

[Mamyalynne]

Overgorge

[dannyk13]

or what is the clue giving the 'b'?

[Alicat58]

The word ending in 'n' is 'A colourless, odourless gas. 5 letters 't???n' and all I can find is tabun.

[Mamyalynne]

Argon

[dannyk13]

Radon?

[Flonska]

Argon - if t is not correct?

[dannyk13]

Both are odourless and colourless

[Mamyalynne]

Argon gives the 'g' for Overgorge.

[dannyk13]

Looks like that is the 'b' that needs to change.

[Flonska]

. . . as is ozone and xenon . . .

[elliemay1]

I don't think that 'overbinge' is a recognised word

[dannyk13]

Argon is looking good.

[elliemay1]

^ whereas 'overgorge' is

[Alicat58]

Don't know if my reply posted but it was just to say thanks to everyone and argon and overbinge was right.
I had made a mistake further back. Thanks again!

[Mamyalynne]

Glad you're sorted.
