Then one of my solutions is wrong (or both). Sigh.

definition of 3d is strips. and of 28d make acceptable

What's really annoying is that I followed the exact same steps as you, Prospero and tl, but I'm stuck

If you offer your supposed answers we could see if they're right ... but this forum is quite strict about giving direct solutions to prize puzzles. I take it from your pseudonym you are as woebegone as I about Saturday's game.

Sorry, quite the contrary actually (no offence). It's just the abbreviation of my first name.

For 28d, I have a verb that becomes a synonym for great if you add the w of women

"American" great as in gee that's ... yes, that's right (wish I could make the italic tag work ...)

prospero - you could try to copy/paste the code tag and then replace the text 'This text will be in italics' with your own.

What have you got for 3dn?

3d is anagram of a word meaning parody. these were my last 2 as well.
