Can anyone help? I've got the 6-letter E word in the bottom left, which gives me a 5-letter word beginning with F. The trouble is, I've already used that in the top right, come off the 9-letter F word. Is there another 5 letter F word in one of the splitters?

I've not got E six-letter in bottom left. I have A six-letter down there. Bottom left has to be K surely ?

Mind you I think I may have messed up the placement.

Struggling on O-thematic. Have O_ _ A / _____________ but the A may be wrong. Hints welcome.

williamseal, I think QUINOA is QUI(P) + NO (ON = about going upwards) + A (little apple).

XERES is XER(OT)ES, ignoring O (round) and T (top of toe)

Oh no! That means my grid is completely out! Does any-one else have the 6-letter E word on the left, 5th line up, or should it be the 6-letter K work? Thanks!

Pog - that had me confused for ages. Look at the clue again and take special notice of the "we're told". You have the word in the right place but with the wrong spelling! Try saying it out loud.

Thanks Tintin!! Of course, the definition is 'fascinating sight' not engineer'. Doh!

I'm having problems with Jack and Mary for one of the S clues. Is it salt___________?

No, not "salt" . You need a combo of 2 appropriate surnames as the answer.
