Hello

Doing well with bottom half of puzzle but a bit stuck on some key clues.
1 Across
Set up stand so arranged for game involving money (12 letters)
I think it must be an anagram of set up stand so


Any help gratefully received!!!

It's an anagram of a five letter word meaning 'set up' and the letters in 'stand to'. The whole is a gambling game. Hope that helps

I don't think that's quite right. The first part of the answer is a 5 letter word meaning "set up" but it's not an anagram. Only the second part of the answer is an anagram (of "stand so").

peterm - you are absolutely right. That is what I meant, but I phrased it badly. Hope it didn't confuse things unnecesarily.

Any idea about the wordplay for 8dn? I've got the answer, but can't work out why.

peterm - I think is is 'ut' old word for 'as' inside 'dido' backwards. Chambers fives 'dido' as US informal antic or caper. ie Adirondacks just means American

apologies for typos. Typing not my strong point

Thx cmk. I was reading too much into Adirondacks.

Thanks cmk and peter!

I would appreciate guidance on the following...

32D What's attractive in sex, repeated cry when thrusting! (4, 2 words)

I have "s? sa" - and presume the missing letter is "a" but can't find any reference to it other than perhaps a vague Shinto reference - can someone enlighten me.

Thanks
