Been away for August, so some catching up to do.
I too settled on LANT in preference to FISH – but that’s what’s wrong with some Inquisitor puzzles … it’s just not clear whether one has finished or not.

I deliberately chose FISH as a better match for CRAB than the more obscure LANT. But like the other posters I would also have preferred to have new words to find rather than reusing the old ones.

I confess to submitting FISH rather than LANT (which I hadn’t spotted!). I found the dual nature of CRAB, ANEMONE and PERIWINKLE rather unsatisfactory, and how did a rockery become a rock pool?
