More word squares - might be the odd toughie included. Usual deal - I give you the clues (not in the correct order evil ), you solve the squares.

-1. One-time Men's Wimbledon Champion, American
Moon of Saturn or large 3-toed bird
Gelatin-like product, used for thickening
Uncultivated scrubland

-2. Vegetable-oil spread
Protrude, swell out
Boisterous frolic
List

-3. Pack tightly
Aid
Dubious tale
Red

-4. Grain stem
Location device
Count on
Headwear
Blemishes

… and now one for those who find the above far too easy. This one is not symmetrical - the across answers are different from the down answers, and (as you might have guessed) both sets of clues are mixed together.

-5. Type of horse
System of philosophy
Cries of dissent
Unit of force
Vocal range
Terminates
Dull
Old

Enjoy!

I just noticed that the word square that michele rose answered is just one letter off being a palindromic word square of sorts. If the W in AWAIT and the R in TIARA were instead the same letter then the first line would be the reverse of the fifth, the second the reverse of the fourth and the center line a palindrome. Pretty cool!

As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Hey - I never noticed that Bob. That was one I "borrowed" rather than made up myself. Well spotted, Batman! smile

Rats - thought "naes" might cause grief. Great solves, Cheryl, manxman and CCb! bravo

You right, Joan - me wrong. Mea culpa oops

It should be "GUSH" in both directions. I mistyped it as "BUSH" in one direction, and when I came back later to write the clues, I wrote the clue for "BUSH".

Sorry - I will go and perform ritual hurry-curry in the greenhouse...
