I'm stuck on two answers. They appear to be easily solvable but I can't work them out.
1ac Understanding key to epitaph (4). I've got ???P.
2d Search finds noisy bug outside (5). I've got ??F?E
Any thoughts, anybody?

rifle?

rile (bug, annoy) outside F for loud (noisy)

2 rifle?

1 Grip (understanding)

(Key) G - RIP (Epitaph)

G RIP?

Thank you chrise, trevor & mamya. The answers are ****ing obvious and I really don't know how I didn't solve them. I've won this prize crossword 3 times so I hang my head in shame. Cheers, Andy
