‘Coming’ drxx. The wordplay is French street, Dutch and ‘are’. Thanks for ana. I thought that was it but couldn’t find it in Chambers.

Yes, I've got that, ukridge - but what word are you not using if you only have 5 words in the bottom right?

ukridge - re ana - in mine right at the bottom of the suffix meaning - always thought it should have a separate entry - seems to occur quite often in crosswords...

drxx - I too have 6 words in the bottom right riddle. I guess it still works without the 3rd “h” word but that is definitely an extra. Really enjoyable this week despite being at the easier end of the spectrum.

That's hard to answer drxx, because I don't know what your six are. I have two across clues, then my first down clue with an extra word is 'Cloister rogue...', followed by the next clue and the last clue

Thanks ukridge - I have 3 acrosses (I'm guessing it's the B... from the 'Oarsman...' clue, because the riddle would still make sense without it).
