19d Polled returns some way off, but in sight.
The clue gives 2 different answers defn and wordplay. Both are 3 letters and have 2 letters in common , O in the middle being one of the common letters to both.

now have ?ON ...defintion looks like Yon ...polled returns? not> ton?

What about Won, polled?

No the T fits the grid ... i now have 2 separate grids ... each with 28 cells highlighted ....but which grid to choose?

Are either, or both, your options for 1a names?

both are names

Just started this.
Still sorting out the two definitions.

* clues comprise a definition to one word/phrase plus wordplay to another differing from it by one or more letters.

10 *Old criminal under control hung out (6,5)

23 *Closing before burning gets hot (8,6)

Thanks.

Both 6,7? And one contains a title then a surname maybe?

I'm about 90% done Sunray but haven't solved either of those two!
The 8,6 in 23 means both answers have 8 letters but six of them are shared, so two differ.

yes lumen both 6,7 ... do you want the letters that are common to both?
