The demon Big Crossword 398

B side?

The only thing I can think of is break but obviously that doesn't fit in with your letters. How sure are you of them? I won't have the magazine until Friday so if you don't get the answer I'll come back then.

this is what I have for the across words on this 124d word
123a I have o B ese
blank
136a I have m I nimum
blank
143a d E light

This gives me b?i?e

Thanks cherrie

I've just realised that it could also be broke. I don't know if it would work but could minimum be modicum? As I said I don't have the puzzle so don't know what the clue is.
