Put the question on oneacross.com and got shakirah. Still do not see why? I can see k for king in there/

F?EE?ARE. Can only(?) be Freeware, but I don't see the wordplay.

I think Shakirah might be a current pop singer but I didn't think that her name had the final "H" on it. Also is "SHAH" not also a king?

Greyfox. I gor FREEWARE which is free programmes for computers as you probanly know. I reversed AWE into FRERE to get this

Shakirah is given in Chambers as ..fem. form of Shakir..greatful,
and the wordplay is Sh(a kir) ah..
a kir=drink and Shah =king
Thanks Mikejas.
