After a good/goodish start, I've come to a grinding halt - and would appreciate any tips,advice.
All are answers are five-letter words, and I just can't get these...
Clay-like?

This puzzle involves positioning the answers in the right place, so I can't get any further at the moment.

Have top half & hopefully 4 in bottom half,but--like Chips--just can't continue without help!Am I right in supposing bottom line is a very formal word?And that the long one down on the right is a verb?Without revealing which 4 I think I have in those 2 quarters,can anyone help with those remaining 17 (!) without necessarily revealing any complete answers?The "normal" 4 down I already have.Desperate,but so pleased to have got this far alone!

No help available?Then I'll be more precise!In bottom left corner,Are CHINA,CRAFT,ALIAS & NACRE all correct?Are REARS & THERE possibly also candidates?And in bottom right corner,can anyone confirm AMATI & PRINT?Otherwise still lost.Is anyone awake out there?On the other forum,someone found it all too easy hours ago!Still optimistic.Perhaps Chips is still there at least...

I'm here, greedy kite, but it doesn't seem possible to give much help with this. I have the two left-hand quarters complete (I think) but still working on the rest

greedy kite - if china is your answer to the third clue in quarter 4, I have something different, which I think is more appropriate

Thank you for the tip,AJT1.Can I assume,then,that the other three I mentioned for bottom left are correct at least,though their positions may now have to be changed?Also,on "Muslim food",is it HALAL after all?And how about REARS & THERE?That would help me to catch up at least!

I can't help you much, greedy kite, as what you're working on for the bottom left I'm thinking is another quarter - but I could well be wrong.

How about MAILS for chain-letters?And is the long one ------CRAFT,SAVER or WIPER?

To continue my almost-monologue:only bottom left still to do.Have only AMATI & PRINT,still not sure of the last part of the long one:probably CRAFT?Surely someone can afford a hint to some of the last 7?Or is everyone out/on holiday/asleep today?
