(Sorry - it would be too complicated to explain this to contributors who don't have the puzzle in front of them.)


Do 10a, 13a, 22a and 26a make up one of the sets of 4? If so, any hint on what the other set is would be appreciated - I've only a few left and nothing (except possibly 23d) seems out of order.

That's what I've got but I also (briefly) included 9a in the same group. No idea what the second group is but assume that it includes 20d.

Thanks simond9x
I've not got 9a yet, nor 4a, 5d or 7d. Any hints?

I agree that 20d doesn't seem to have a definition, but all the other ones I've solved do (except for the first group, of course).

4ac Think animal hands

7d was a new one on me. Think modern-day term for opportunity

Thanks gaperon - I'll pick it up again.

I had 18a wrong (OMAN) - I thought it was a good answer too!

"MAN ZERO" with the zero moved to the west.

OK, 18a is another with no definition. I can't see any connection with 20d, though, and I can't find 2 others (though I still haven't got 9a).

Not sure what you mean by 18a.

My 9a may be wrong - I've got an answer that would fit into that first group (based upon Googling the answer I've got).

I'm stuck on 1, 2 and 15, and can't parse 11 and 23 (both of which I've guessed).

I meant 15a.


1a isn't haggis, but might accompany it; 1d refers to the answer to 6
2 is the name of a character represented by "th" or "y".
For 15 I have a duck, but there isn't a definition.
11 first three letters mean the domain of Pluto, then money reversed.
I haven't parsed 23 either
