I am struggling with the shading round “HI” in the SW corner.
I assume the O to the right is shaded but am I right in having edges to the right and above HI but NOT above the O. The phrase “bounded internally” is the problem. I can’t get my two totals to agree.

Any help much appreciated!

Include - I take bounded internally to mean the edges between shaded and not shaded within the grid but not between shaded and the edge of the grid. Agree that HI is bounded above and to the right. O is bounded to the left with HI and to the right with M (start of a framing item) but not above.

Hello, if there’s anyone still there. I started this one late and am a bit stuck in the NE corner. A nudge for 10 a or dn would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Planks, I can't normally do the Listener but, that said, I think 10a is:-

a 5 letter word for a 'Riddle' (think 'Strainer') around the usual abbreviations for 100 and Rupees. It's a Scots word (Euan) for 'Describe'.
