have completed grid and know theme etc, but just cant get the five letter word (linked to a theme word ) starting at top left of grid, I have CR?ME, thanks in advance

[stymied]

I have the same problem. Presumably you have YELLOW CARD and now want CR?ME YELLOW; the only common phrase I've come up with is CREME YELLOW, but not very happy with that. Will keep trying.

I think there was a book by Huxley called Crome Yellow

[stymied]

P.S. Doesn't appear in any dictionary but appears {predictably) often with web search.

[Aquagility]

Google Crome yollow

[The Builder]

Aldous Huxley - definitely

[Aquagility]

chrome yellow n 1: any of several yellow pigments consisting of normal lead chromate and other lead compounds.

[Aquagility]

Sorry, forget that last!

[mad max]

many thanks for all your replies, unless anything else crops up I will go for crome yellow ( hadn't heard of the book)

[cruciverbali]

Yes, Crome Yellow is corrrect.

Now you have polished that off, can I commend this week's Listener puzzle, using a classic circular grid:

Multi-part Puzzle by Poat

C

[mad max]

thanks C , this weeks listener is beyond me ( keep looking at it though ) unlike last weeks which was obviously one of the easier ones.

[cruciverbali]

Yes, last week's Listener was a joke in my opinion - I was almost tempted not to bother solving the last dozen clues when I realised how the grid had to be submitted.
