I am having trouble with the last question....I have two answers in mind, but I am not sure which one to use, so I would rather see what others think....

Question: Confining
Answer: Available letters....C?A??ING

I hope someone can help....
Thank you.....qwerty55

cramping

It could be chaining.

Thank you andyc and jadzia49.....
Cramping and Chaining are the two answers I already had....but I still don't know which one would be the best answer to use.... Has anyone any thoughts as to which one I should go with?

I would go for cramping.
A confined space is a cramped area

I checked in Anne Bradford's dictionary, but she gives both 'cramping' and 'chaining' as alternatives to "confining"!
Does it really matter as both seem adequate and acceptable answers?
or are you entering a competition?

Thank you jazzgirl, that was the answer that came to my mind first, but when I started searching I came across chaining.....then I didn't know which one to use.... Thank you for helping.....

Hi elle, it does matter and yes I am entering a competition with this crossword......

This may help you ?
