I've finally twigged the theme but am struggling to make sense of some of it. Could somebody tell me if 1d is jumbled please? I have a sneaking suspicion that I've gone wrong somewhere.
Dylan - 3d first word is extra. Definition is herb. Word for border goes inside word for suffering. 1a definition is dead (obsolete) excited. Two letter word for space followed by word for renowned with pupil (one letter) inside. I think second word may also be extra but I haven't got the theme yet.
I have 7 Acrosses and 2 Downs where the answer has to be jumbled. Is this right? I can't see what's going on yet, but it's early days (VERY early compared with last week!).
