Urgh, I still can't see it. I'll keep looking. Thanks for the hint, ginge.

column 1 for the lower creativity
column 10 for the upper creativity

I think this must have been a very easy EV as I have managed to complete it without the 'help of my friends'. Must admit I have enjoyed it, but that is possible because I haven't felt a nit-wit! Will probably be whining and begging for help next week so please don't go away!!

Best to all.

Thanks, MM. I wondered how you'd got on with this one. I don't want to say it was easy, but it wasn't too difficult and definitely not too complicated.

Thanks, xwordfan. I had the wrong word for 10a, so that threw me a bit.
Once you see the name, it's so obvious.

I have found the works of creativity and the 2 authirs...but I cannot get 1d!

Any help would be appreciated.

1d Alcoholic brew by US Gothic tale writer entertaining queen at the time in Paris (8 two words)
I have ALE?O?UE

Thanks
fred

Poe is the Gothic writer

Ale is alcoholic brew

Qui is Queen in wordplay

That should help you work out the answer.

Thank you.
fred

Sorry just noticed my autocorrect changed qu to qui. Qu is the abbreviation for queen. Sorry for any confusion.
