Hello came to this puzzle late in the week,and although I have almost all the answers, I am completely stumped on how to enter them in the grid. Could someone help with either an example of clue entry or just explain how to remove letters. Many thanks

example... if the clue has an answer of 6 letters that have to fit into 5 cells ( i.e. 1 letter to go at the beg or end of the row or column) then pencil in 2 letters in each available cell. ( eg if the answer was ANSWER then pencil in AN NS SW WE ER in the 5 cells)
If the clue has to lose 2 letters then pencil in 3 letters in each cell.
It will look a mess at first but you will see some definites in the crossers and will then be able to eliminate many of the possibilities.
Have a go then come back again if you are stuck. I think there's another thread on this puzzle so that may help too.

1a and 1d both start with O so that can be fixed ....see if there are any more like this ...
1a has a B n it ... so does 4d ... another letter in place.

I think we had something similar before with an IQ or EV
