Thank you all... had filled my border in wrong ..don't know how the O got there!

[Neveracrossword]

Saladdoger, sorry - that made me laugh! I thought I was the only one who sometimes made up words to fit.

[Mamyalynne]

It's a real word.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Mamya - but I really meant to fit the clue as well as whatever letters I had!

[dannyk13]

I knew that (not)

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry, I read it as 'a made up word'.

[Neveracrossword]

Mamya, sometimes I make up words, sometimes I make up words/answers that fit part - but only part - of the clue. I check Chambers and am sometimes sorely disappointed.

[Mamyalynne]

I can get inventive too, it's a curse.
