1) should be STITCH, so it may be worth looking over where that N came from again.

But nowadays I do my crosswords when I'm at work, so it's always ink on paper.

What is a gluestick?
Posted By: Faldage Re: Glue Stick - 08/01/06 09:49 AM
It's a lipstick size glue delivery system. The glue is in a kind of waxy form. Doesn't sharpen too good, though.

Glue Stic

I stole the line from Jon Stewart in Wordplay.
