A while ago,, I asked about the very odd crossword in the December edition of SWMBO's magazine. There are no clues for most of the across clues,just a letter.
I have come back to it again and again. " Obsessional" is among the nicer things she has called me. I have completed most of it ( don't know whether they are right!). But there's a few that I simply can't get. Anybody interested in helping with such an old and odd puzzle?

Thanks for staying with me. I think 'river' is a real possibility. But if 'overs' is right ( why an upper case O?) that gives us e? s?a? l?
What fits ' becomes entangled with'?
steven
You are wonderful!!!
I can relax ! I have no idea whether my answers are right but I now have a letter in every space.
Been quite an undertaking! But,thanks to you and the others ( huge thanks all round) I've done it.
A new experience...
steven
Thank you all. I'm afraid bath time arrived before I read the latest batch, including the rebukes about answers given earlier. Quite right to tell me off. It was the stubborn aspect of my character that SWMBO goes on about. I was reluctant to believe that other answers were wrong. They were!
Good morning to you all.
I'm going for Owens, I think , not overs. Otherwise I accept recommendations.
I really am grateful to all of you who have patiently stuck with me. You really are wonderful!
Good morning Scorpiojo. You have been particularly great. Not just with this puzzle of course.
What a puzzle it's been though. Even now I'm not sure about some answers, whereas usually I am ok about answers. Just take that Owens/ overs choice. Arguments both ways.
steven
And I have gone back to overs. Just re read your cricket reference, scorpiojo, and I am now convinced.
I really do need to move on but it keeps twisting round my brain. SWMBO is, to say the least, not best pleased with me....
Thank you, Canary42! I doubt that Prospect magazine know of the way she treats me. So, I'll stick with 'overs' But what a great addition to our exchanges!
steven
And,no, I shan't enter the competition. Too much support from all of you, I fear. So it would be a bit of a cheat, wouldn't it?
But nice thought about SWMBO!
