OK folks, this is a crossword clue and all the words we have to find in English are the names of buildings (bungalow, penthouse, lodge etc. etc.)- it's a vocabulary building exercise for schoolchildren.
The trouble is that the answer needs to have six letters, the second of which is "h".
We can't think of anything that fits the clue and the criteria.
So far we have "hovel" and "shack" as suggestions, but these mean blocking out either the first square or the last, to leave five letters. We are not supposed to do this.
Can anyone here think of a solution, 'cos we're stumped!
Thanks,
Jo
