thanks so much! hope i'll get better at asking and answering-often know the answer to help others but have struggled with the site-i'm old!

Millie, the essential pieces of information are the clue (checked very carefully), the number of letters, and which letters (if any) you already have.

The date of the quiz / crossword and the publication where you found it are also useful...

[carrot99]

don't give up millie - it's having a go that's important not getting it right - although getting it right is useful for quizzes!

[millie61]

yes but i had typed in all details originally but couldn't submit for some reason-then daughter came along and managed to submit question sans details-i'm really not as stupid as it appears here! Oh dear-might have to unsubscribe in shame!

[Mamyalynne]

Don't do that, welcome aboard and have fun.
