I managed to make progress on the left hand side, but still have lots to get on the right hand side.
in particular, I would like hints for 5d and 11ac. i thought i had an answer for 5d, but couldn't parse it, then i thought i had an answer fo11ac, but couldn't parse and it means my 5d is wrong.
5d Development, for example, raised standing (9) I have GE??E????
11ac Make weak tea brewed after I returned (8) I have E????ATE
Some of these letters are guessers
