Quite a few queries which I need help with parsing so explanations preferred rather than just giving me the answer....
10A) Grass with designs on getting high? S?A?D (5)
6D) Name a Tudor king climbing on some rocks (7) Is it Rhaetic? If so, why?
17A) Spooner's heard to murder writer then collect some money (4,2). Is it Pass Go? If so, why?
21D) Thread of what you are studying, say? (4) Is it clew? If so, why?
19A) Property of match that's heading to conclusion (5) Q???E. Is it quale? If so, why?
24A) Auditor's inconclusive confusion when it's time for work (8) ??E?D?Y?. Is it weekdays or Tuesdays...can't parse this one at all
25A) Vehicle threequarters full of fodder (4) ???Y. Think it might end in hay as threequarters of the four lettered word.
It's tooooooo hot to even think.
