With reference to the 9 clues with omissions - i have 34, 25, 21, 24, 3,19 ,29 with letters missing in the clues but am unsure of the others? (Am I correct with these so far?)
jane5 - 35d is one of the "9" clues . "wrong" in the clue indicates an anagram. Force is the definition.
32d is also one of the "9". I have the answer (Greek is the definition),but can't fully explain it. Perhaps someone else can help here please.
For 32 d, Sudokulover - hi btw - The 2nd letter is the superfluous part; the first and last are the centre letters of circle (as given), and the 3rd, 4th and 5th are the first three letters of a 4-letter word meaning "chief"
