I have crosswordsolver pinned to start on my phone.
I've not heard of one across, I'll check that one out.
Thanks

There is a great site if every you need to cheat ask for assistance with crosswords. It's called one across.

I was thinking of complicated, cryptic answers too.

I didn't see at first how Misadventure had got to balcony. I thought maybe the "dress circle" somehow went to "balcony bra" to give the link. Overthinking it!

gringrin
Initial letter clue was 'travellers cases'
I had luggage. Thanks to MissAdventure I now realise it should be baggage
So of course the answer is balcony. I had what is known in our family as a 'brain fart' grin
Thank you.

What is the clue for the word that gives you the first L?

MissAdventure Sat 18-Aug-18 15:22:48

I would have thought balcony, apart from the obvious, that your word starts with L.

are you sure the letters you already have are correct??
