Crossword Clues

18 down Suffix with Tokyo or Israel
_ _ _ ITE


61 down Suffix with cash, cloth or hotel
_ _ _ IER


Can someone tell me what suffix means? When solving clues, I find it's helpful if you can understand what it's asking for.

I'll look it up in my pocket Oxford Dictionary. It says -
suffix n. letters added at the end of a word to make another word.

So, we are looking for 3 letters to add to the end of each word to make it a new word.
Try to picture it like this
Tokyo_ _ _, Israel_ _ _
cash_ _ _, cloth_ _ _, hotel_ _ _

Of course, you can fill in any letters you know from the crossing clues.
