I have wrestled it down to the last one. Don't think it's a themed one as I seem to have fourteen already.

11 ac: weathermen occupy steelworks (8)

D_E_E_T_


Any help much appreciated

Sorry but am I the only one that thinks this is ridiculous. I have been doing Guardian crossword for years and this is just absurd. I know that our beloved Araucaria is irreplaceable but Crucible is trying too hard. How can it be acceptable for the solution to be a non word. Also his initial instructions are practically unfathomable.

it was certainly unusual and at times, infuriating but it was explained that a lot of solutions would be entered as non-words.
i don't have a problem with that.

Thanks. I had thought of Hume and v and E but didn't know the whole. (Incidentally, I agree with whoever said that a crossword where the answers aren't words is a bit ridiculous)

...the actual solutions to the clues are all words.

I liked this crossword. Something different and satisfying. Thank you Greedy Kite and Pezbuin for helping me finish the last two stinkers.
