I missed that - thanks ff.

[rondetto]

What do you have for 7 across: Originator

[dannyk13]

Is originator the clue or the solution?

[fiction-factory]

I don't have the crossword. What's the letter pattern/count please?

[fiction-factory]

I suggested AUTHOR before if it's 6 letters

[rondetto]

Thanks guys. But 7 across is bugging me to get 1 down. 7 letters maker.

[fiction-factory]

So if it's 7 letters it can't be ORIGINATOR.
Is Maker the full clue?
Do you have any letters?

[dannyk13]

creator?

[rondetto]

Maker.originator is the clue 7 letters: I have: ???A?O?

[fiction-factory]

looks promising, danny

[fiction-factory]

creator will be right then
What does that give you for 1d now please?

[rondetto]

Thanks Danny yes that is the one thanks so 1 down is now FREIGHT

[fiction-factory]

Creator is clearly right now we have the full clue

[dannyk13]

Phew, at last

[fiction-factory]

I'm not sure freight is a verb or how your A has become an H as there is no H in creator

[Mamyalynne]

Sorted.

[petal54]

could 1d be freight

[fiction-factory]

I'm glad it's sorted although I'm still not sure what's happened

[Mamyalynne]

Thanks. I've never heard it used as a verb but it was the A appearing to become an H from creator that confused me most. But all sorted now
