if anyone has stuck with this today, please can you help me with 7 and 8 ac on both grids?

clues ?
letters placed ?

each clue consists of 2 parts with the first of those going in the left grid and the 2nd part going in the right grid; but an extra letter has to be added to one of each pair of solutions before entry into the grid.

8a: US sports player, one from HQ, linked with forward daughter under the sheets (7;7)

left grid is baseman

As I already suggested on your original thread, why don't you quote the clues in full and give us all the letters you already have? I'm not prepared to work from scratch on the Guardian website, which as usual is not working properly anyway.

If I'm reading mamya's intro correctly, since the wordplay and answer in 8L is baseman I'm assuming the right entry of 7 letters is a 6 letter answer to the clue with an additional letter, so;

bonded, [on (forward) + d (daughter)] in bed (under the sheets)?

So presumably it's "bounded"?

I'd imagine so G.K. if the entries are all "real" words and my assumptions are right (ie the (7,7) corresponds to grid length entry) but as I don't have the crossword in front of me ..............

Here's a link to the grid should anyone want it - you need to click where it says for a PDF.

.............and that's exactly what won't work at my end, so I'm afraid I can't help!
