Hi jul, Palmans contribution was boar(houn)ds,
boards = accommodate. The only problem there is, that boards is plural and accommodate is singular and I can not find anything in 'houn' to cover 'she can help' At the moment kennelmaid has the edge for me as kennel is a name for a group of hounds, aid could cover help and she is covered by the whole word.
Please answer me cos I've just had to recover my quiz from across the room as well !!!!!!

It is a bit of a coincidence that a similar clue appeared in the DT crossword dated 6th Dec last year. The clue was "woman helping to accommodate Danes" and the answer was Kennelmaid. I prefer to stick to crosswords and I don't do any quizzes. Look for 13d on the following link

Thank you chrisg - I have settled for kennelmaid now and that has certainly helped.
ps. I didn't throw my quiz across the room - it would have meant getting up to pick it up again!!!! Thanks

Hi, Winnie.
As requested I am responding and, like you , think that I'll have to revert to kennelmaid!!

Hi, again, Winnie,
I have just looked up boarhound and spent ages reading about Fang in Harry Potter! Have at least learned something! I didn't know that boarhound was an old name for a great dane!
