I am not sure if others out there find some grids more difficult than others, well this is the one today. All you end up with are vowels & the odd s & t.
Inside man (8) - - I - - - E -
Provided with wings but powerless to use them? (8) - - - I - - - -
Part of "The Clock" symphony? (8)
- O - E - - - T
Any help much appreciated, thanks
