Are the down and across numbers mixed up? They don't seem to fit. - katydew, Mar 13, 2013
I don't know what's up, but I tried to answer the crossword puzzle, and I've been rejected 4 times already. So, here's my answer: 13 ACROSS: coche de caballos. I can't stay, but it's been fun! - SaigeSmith, Mar 13, 2013
Saige, between the puzzle and the clues is this sentence, "There are no spaces between words! (23A, 4D, 13D)"! I'm really sorry about that. I'll put it in the puzzle as being done! - bandit51jd, Mar 13, 2013
I ope that i have not messed up Bandit , I am not good at games, but it is a "ripper mate". - ray76, Mar 14, 2013
No, Ray, you´ve done a splendid job! I´m happy you have found this. Bien hecho! - bandit51jd, Mar 14, 2013
Oops! I answered two clues. Sorry! I'll wait awhile before I check back. - rgilbert3, Mar 15, 2013
