Trying to finish a crossword with no mistakes is hard(both)

One hobby of mine is Crossword Puzzles.
I buy Mr Wisdoms Whoppers Crossword book.
27 Crosswords, Average of 400 clues per puzzle.
I have been doing these puzzles for 20 years and have never completed one in toto.
The last one done, 3 spelling mistakes, 6 unknowns.
Who would know what a Medieval Castle Privy was called?
9 letters, _ a r_ e_ o b e

Crossword puzzles are a hobby of mine. I do the Sunday NY Times crossword every week, and generally complete them although they are challenging. Puzzles aren't quite as large with an average 140 clues per puzzle but, while the clues/answers are challenging, I’ve been able to complete them most of the time.

Gusman · 61-69, M
@Picklebobble2 Maybe your visited the Castle over yonder and heard the word and retained said word.🤔

@Gusman ... or maybe I was on a different planet altogether 😜

I give you a lot of credit, I'm not very good at them.

@curiosi The more you do them, the more chance of retaining words.
I have done 2160 puzzles and attempted over 800,000 clues.
