Grid completed with just (i) highlight a hidden word......, to do. Any hints gratefully received.

Found it ! As so often happens just after posting.

Enjoyed this one, steady progress with a few PDMs, but the 'hidden' word seems to me to be in p[l]ain sight....

Still struggling with the last few clues on this one. For the life of me can’t get 36A and 26D. Any hints would be welcome. Also is 9D a jumbled entry clue? Still recovering from the previous puzzle which I only finally completed at the weekend!

Hi Goshawk. 9d is not jumbled, but 36 is.

Goshawk - for 36a look up the word shop in Chambers - definition 5. 26d Greek island is Cos, surrounding Asian Muslims Moro giving an archipelago off East African coast.

36a is jumbled. Have you noticed all the jumbles end on O. Think prison.
26d is an archipelago. Not jumbled.
9d is an old fashioned term for a card “game”. The old name does not appear as a pleural in my Chambers but its slightly more modern counterpart does. You must enter the old term as a pleural.

Thanks, everyone, for those hints. I now have all the jumbles. Now to decide on the removed extra words, which judging from earlier posts are not easy in some cases to determine.

Oops. Think I’ve gone wrong somewhere in NE corner. Can’t find a word that will fit 19A. I have AO-TIT. I need a nudge to solve 19A please.

Hi Goshawk, 19A definition is 'of vessel'; think blood vessel. Greek as in Attic. Maybe you have a problem with 9D. That is Tarocs.
