Crosswords.

[Lorns]

For the first time i've attempted the Times crossword, mainly because i'm bored. I've got a bit further than i expected, but there is a couple of clues i'd like some help with.

Firstly..12 D. -Indian;-football. It begins with an A.
also i'm have trouble with... 14 A. Lions' den surviver (6).. LUCKY is only 5 letters.

[chinajan]

Lions' den survivor is Daniel. How many letters in the Indian one?

[Lorns]

Thankyou that has confirmed 14 D and 11 D.

The Indian one has 8 letters,

[Lorns]

If it helps i have ...

A _ E _ I _ A N

I've just got it. It's American.

Now a little help with 3D- Lord Chancellor to Henry the 8th ends with Y (6)

[chinajan]

Cardinal Wolsey

[Lorns]

The Times are rather familier. Calling him just by his last name of Wolsey Tscch!

Right.. Hows about 2 D.. One in complete control; great artist.

_ A _ T_ R

This could go on for some time. Anyone else want any help with their crosswords? Chinajan has the answers

[Gluben]

Master.

[Lorns]

Nice one. Now hows about..9A.. Loud, harsh (8) S _ _ O _ E _ T

Also..

16D John-,C19 English art critic.(6) .. R _ S _ i _ .

That should keep you busy for a while.

[Gluben]

16 Down is Ruskin. Are you sure the other one has the letters in the right place?

[Brad]

Is this the crossword on the back of the sport page? I can barely get a single clue right on that. I prefer the Times 2 one!

[Gluben]

Have you made a typing error? Because no thesaurus seems to have a word with S _ _ O _ E _ T
