Help please with one elusive clue:
Tucked in label at regular intervals (3)
I have A?E but unsure if this is correct

That's what I have - the usual 'at regular intervals' stuff, and then a letter not in the wordplay. 'Tucked in' is the definition.

Thank you. I’m off my food Malone...still trying to find the vertical 9 letters...

Glad I could help, Jogamel.

All I can find is the first two words in the 13 letter down answer (5down). Can't yet see what this has to do with the included entry. Time to go and find something else to do for a while!

Sloth, you're on the right track. The unclued entry was very helpful, as was some specific wording in the preamble.

Thanks all,
I presume we can use an approximation of the thematic colour? My old felt-tips are pretty basic!

How do these parse please?
Reptiles and aquatic mammals each softly taking four steps forward. Reptiles is the defn and i assume otters are the aquatic mammals ?

Implement generating small piece of grass in grammes
I have a kitchen utensil as the answer?

Journalists define Serpent with 5 points
journalists is the defn... serpent could be S? with could be W + 5 compass points? (no wordplay omission?)

I am missing 2 E's and an A from the 13 omitted (that's if my interpretation is ok)

Scarlet, the Reptiles clue was clever. It's not Otters. The 'four steps' is alphabetical... moving ? to ? gives reptiles rather than aquatic mammals. 'Each softly taking four steps...' shows what letter your moving, 'softly' being...

Journalists... Serpent is Me, inside 5 points.

Scarlett
Tortoises= Porpoises with each 'p' moved on by 4 steps

rat (=grass) +e (extra letter) in 'gr'

Me in n,e,w,s and n i.e. 5 points
