Am in a pickle with this today.

1a. A grip (4) - A - N - G

My other answers are:- Across: 5a IWEI, 6a. ADVT, 7a. GLEE

Down: 2d. AWDL, 3d. NEVE, 4d. GITE

Can anyone put me out of my misery please. Thank you.

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused about the clues.

These are two 4 letter words but you have 6 in total (given letters and dashes).

1d flag

Grip - fang

[factor-fiction]

Are the answers often abbreviations/acronyms rather than proper words?

[scorpiojo]

What is the clue for IWEI?

Maybe I and l are being mixed up.
I wondered about FLAG for weary, but I know it's not a synonym

[scorpiojo]

What is the clue for 5a please?

[Jamjar74]

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH, I AM NOW A HAPPY BUNNY. MY MISTAKE I PUT "IWEI" INSTEAD OF "LWEI". SILLY !!!!!!!!!!!

put iwei instead of lwei... well, how dumb is that...scratches head and reaches for dictionary

[factor-fiction]

I am still unsure that weary means flag. Is there a more suitable answer?

[jno]

they should be fine as intransitive verbs, ff

[Mamyalynne]

(to) weary - (to) flag

[factor-fiction]
