humble seems more likely to me- I wouldn't have said homely means humble
My thoughts are homely doesn't mean modest but I'm not doing the crossword so can't see it.
I'd go for humble.
me too - homely doesn't mean modest
humble
Question Author
Thesaurus also gives homely for modest.
Hmmm, not a definition which I would use :-)
Have you only got the 'h' and the 'm',then?
Thanks- yes it may, I was just saying I wasn't aware of the synonym. Humble seems much more likely. Is there another letter we can find which would help? If not, I'd go for the more obvious answer which is humble
Chambers dictionary gives definition of modest as humble if that helps.
I would also say humble. Homely can mean other things as well as modest.
