cryptic 198
Hi welshlady

someone else will help with 17a.

17a - Looks like a wolf - L?E?R?

You could check out those letters, because their number matches the definition: - Lupine

oops
17a looks like a wolf - l?e?s

typed the letters wrong first time - DOH!!!!!

Thanks
Rach

Can only find five words that fits the letters you have given.

1. leeds
2. leeks
3. leers
4. liens
5. loess

Leers seems the most likely, I'm thinking of a 'wolf whistle', but not 100% sure. Maybe someone else may come up with a better suggestion.
