Can't get this Latin phrase for 11a.
One-nil wobbling, power through fully.
I? P?E?O

In Pleno (fully - it's an anagram of 'one nil'+'p'/power)

Thanks malone...I can't find a really reliable Latin resource on the 'net, so couldn't find this one.

I found it here.

Finished, but can't completely figure out the cryptic wordplay for 16a and 9d - Enigmatist seems to go out of his way (I'm sure it's a him) to be obscure. Any help much appreciated.

Those of us without the crossword need the clues please.

16 Read all about technique America's adopting — endless variety … "Read all about it" here! (4,5)

9 Square on the kisser the old girl's caught sovereign, ___ ! (13)

I know what the answers are, but not exactly why.

16A Read all about means read backwards.
Technique = art, America= usa, adopting( with) variety= make. endless mak. the whole is artusamak. read backwards.
9D Gobsmackingly, except for king I too am confused

Seen this elsewhere.


gob = kisser
s = square
ma = old girl
c = caught
kingly = sovereign

Thanks. I was stuck on that one too. But how did you know the answer should be a Latin phrase? The clue doesn't mention anything about Latin.
