Has anyone got the 4 letter disappearance on the top row and the 9 letter one on the bottom row ? In my opinion the puzzle is spoilt by there being too many permutations for all but one of the six.

"Always puzzled" wasn't as puzzled as I was, but thanks to his/her help with the placement of the blank entries, I think I've managed to get there in the end.

always puzzled: The 4 letter one begins with K....KURI an extinct dog

son1ofrover1 - the one on the bottom row starts "thy". I'm not totally convinced about the 4 letter one at the top (my entry creates a name as one of the downs rather than an ordinary word) but it starts "ka".

What about HUIA for the top right ..an extinct bird of New Zealand?

Kirky - yes, I think that's better.

When I retired, I had three remaining.
They still are.

Thanks.

I have seven letters COEATLA. (Tool instead of Fool)

assitant ...aider reversed > REDIA

one set .... RADIO

Sail right VELAR


not sure where the extras all come from but they spell out COELACANTH

Thanks.
I figured out Redia and Radio but not velar.

Grid completed.

Thanks Kirky and Stephen53 for getting me over the line with the bottom row. It means I can sleep on the train between Manchester and London tomorrow morning.
