In 10 I just thought that "guide" was very loose (if not actually wrong) for the required word.

Hi Chrise

For 10ac I thought the defition was work but couldn't parse the rest of the clue to the answer I've got. I think I may have worked it out, but in that case I agree the "guide" is very loose.

Nearly finished. I can't see the cow in 17ac either.

10a - Yes the definition is 'work' - guide is fine then remove a word as indicted by the clue.

Thanks Mamya

I think that's what I did.

I've finished now. Yes, it was easier than usual. I was grateful after the last few weeks.

I'm not sure if Guide is Govern or Oversee. Neither let's me parse my answer which means a work, usually artistic. I don't see Staff anywhere.

It's (loosely) STEER

I still don't see what to do with it. Where does the U in my answer come from?

Take a 3 letter word that could mean "staff" away from the front of it

It's left behind when you take a word for staff away from the beginning of a word for guide.

To make it a bit clearer - you have to read "taff" as a verb.
