Baffled by one this week
4d Writer taking gold for Odin's son (4)
?H?R

I think I know the answer, but if I'm right, how does "Writer" give the first two letters?

Writer gives the 6-letter answer before 'gold' (in crossword terms) is removed.

There are two definitions for gold. You chose the wrong one!

Hello all. Can anyone shed a little light on 17 and 24 please? I have two answers which just about fit the boxes but not really the clues!

17 is a culinary term - it's an anagram
24 "you there" gives 3 letters in the answer. The second word is a bit loose, I think.

It's best to give the clues for those without the puzzle!

Hello Again! It seems to be some weeks before RT fans have had anything on this forum.

I have a question with 22ac. My answer is a Latin word which means "therefore" What is the significance of "west" in the clue.

Some weeks ago there was a clue "South of England woodlands blowing a fuse." The answer given last week was "weld". What is the S. o. E woodlands got to do with it?
