CRECHE parses well, but it is 6 letters, not 5.

Didn't know lolly was a term for money. Knew Cree though!

Sorry, my letter count was wrong on the last one :(
I though it was too good to be true.

Oh, duh. Can't count. I'll be willing to bet it's a mistake, since it works so well.

It just seemed so obvious I didn't bother to count!

Missed the posting time - got distracted!

Really struggled today and could only come up with

1 Seafarer
2 Weapon
5 Carib?

You certainly got the old grey matter trudging around today. Thanks as usual :)

same here Ari

Aristo, "weapon" is clearly correct but "baffle" (in Chambers as "frustrate, impede" (foil) and its use in windows and air movement looked to fit the bill as well.

And I would never call a Carib a brave; that's used for North American (especially Western) Indians. The Caribs are South American (and, of course, Caribbean).

Oh! I didn't even notice that you had baffle, AB! I in fact had weapon. Not my day...
