Hi. Can anyone help with 5d? An associate member of Nato, perhaps. (7). A???n??

This might help with the crossers, which are also giving grief.

Thanks

A CRONY M(ember) like NATO for example.

PS. I've checked and Chambers does give M as an abbreviation for 'Member'.

Thanks Brendan. Which Chambers do you mean? Dictionary? Crossword solver?

I would have thought Nato is an abbreviation, not an acronym?

Hi Catcharmer, I use the phone app version of the dictionary and it's excellent. It only costs about £2 and is well worth the money IMHO.

Of course. I was thinking anagram. Duh! I have the Chambers apps — dictionary and thesaurus. Will use the dictionary more. Thesaurus is great. Have a good week.

I have the thesaurus also. I used a £10 Google gift token and was able to get both the dictionary and thesaurus.

Take care

I can't get my head round the parsing of 8D an 19.
Incidentally, how many contributors to this thread use the Newspaper to solve the puzzle
