thanks joker. rte guide xword can be vague at times. i have ?s?e? asset fits. must be the ultimate in expectation. 4 4. last hope. it comes as an emergency service 4 6 fire engine. these ans hold my 2 key letters for asset and as xword all finished asset it is. BUT A POOR EXAMPLE MUST MEAN JUST THAT. asset=strength=poor axample!

To play to one's strengths is to use one's assets.
