Finished, but with a doubt.

20d Prayer is off,_____ as an alternative? (6)

I have a slightly unconvincing answer, made even more doubtful as the word also appears elsewhere in the grid. Can anyone confirm or refute this, please?

Don't have the crossword, but 'or-is-on' would fit the clue.

Don't do this crossword but I think I know the answer. Alternative of Off preceded by another for alternative + is ?? does this make sense ?

Thanks both - that makes more sense than my answer (one letter different).

There are sites where the answers to crosswords are to be found. I do think that spoils things though even if I do want the occasional hint.
Do the answers have to be real words and is 14a a real word?

I've never heard of 14a, though the first part of the word seems to ring a bell - easy enough anagram, though.
