Thank you so much James, your are a real good friend to help me, and looking at some of the words l will definitely have to change some, will contact you as soon as l have sorted it out this morning, once again THANK YOU, x

l have done a quick check and there are a few that have really stymied me, lol
58a Endangered great ape (OD??O)
63d Dye fixing substance (??R?A?T)
154a Carved inscription scroll (C?ET?C?E)
135d Common explosive base {N?S??)compounds
l am sure that there is a simple word that would fit all these clues, but for the life of me l cannot think. But the other clues l need l am sure that with a bit more research l can find the answers.
l am now having to wait for another mag to come, l seem to have not received one other mag, cannot for the life of me think of the name, will have to rest my brain with a cuppa and play a few games and then hope to get back to it later, l do have a few more weeks. ttfn xx

Hi you seem to have some letters wrong, use your word cruncher, though not all the words are in it. I just do t three mags, and joy The Colossus arrived this morning. Take care
James x

Just came on line and saw your answers , will check them out. My Colossus came yesterday and have spent most of the morning doing it. Now have plenty to keep me occupied. My word cruncher certainly comes in handy, l also have a Collins one as well and sometimes it gives me words that the oxford one does not, odd that, so will say ttfn and speak later. Keep safe and warm.
