nelson,
It is 3, 7.
Two cells are used twice.

Thanks, sunray - I thought Orson (and anyone else) would have a 'd'oh' moment and realise that the first part of their 1,7 was not a number!

Can no-one put me out of my misery with regard to the fourth member of the group containing 38A, 21D and 25D? I'm forced to conclude it's 1D, but I have no idea why. If it is, then in what language?

cockie, here's what Mr Wiki says:

Sten is a Scandinavian male given name. Literally meaning "stone" or "cliff", it derives from a literal translation of Peter into the North Germanic languages

And thanks sunray and malone!

Thanks, Nelson. They taught me French and German at school, but we never got round to Scandinavian. You learn something every day.

Nelson, glad I could help.


PS This post is partly to bump the spam down the page!

Late start this morning. Would appreciate a nudge.

33ac I'm torn between OKRAS and SKRAN. Can't parse.

18d is also troubling me. I have RA?G?

I know the theme and the 4 answers. Have 3 completed groups.

Is the fourth group plants, the first two being 4d and 12ac?
Okras would give me a third for the final group.

But, apart from 33ac and 18d, the grid is full yet I can't spot the 4th.
Can anyone help please?

jazzlover42:

For 18d, take "grieved" letters from gravediggers and anagram 5 remaining letters. 33a will be obvious.

4d is in a group of anagrams of the answer. Such as Darn.

You do not need the groups for the final step.

33 Skran is food and Narks, informers/people who sing.

18 D. Take the first word from the clue out of the third.

PS It's usually better to give the clues.

PS I didn't get all the groups.
