Thanks, everyone, "oomph" was the correct answer.

How about 'spice' as in 'spicing things up?

Grannyknot Sun 16-Sept-18 18:25:30

1974Cookie yes, just the one word as clue.

"Oomph" fits, it was a 5 letter word and we had O-M-H.

It was the "H" that threw me.

When you ginger something up, it would give it more oomph, presumably?

1974cookie Sun 16-Sept-18 18:03:48

Was that the whole clue?

1974cookie Sun 16-Sept-18 18:02:54

How many letters, and do you have any letters?

Lemonade is called 'ginger' by Glaswegians...

Grannyknot Sun 16-Sept-18 17:56:46

Thanks by the way! smile

I thought about that... but have no experience of ginger as having "Oomph". Must be a colloquialism?

JudyJudy12 Sun 16-Sept-18 17:29:26

Oomph

Please could someone tell me what the answer is for 10 Across (ginger)? It's driving me mad.
