Stuck on 19d - my last one. I have ?r?n?i. I can think of a former protectorate (not French) that fits but can't make any sense of the wordplay. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Sorry got it about 2 minutes after posting - was trying to add the wrong missing letter which didn't help!

tintin - see earlier post of mine re 27 - it's linked to 6d

I'm probably being very dim about this but I already have the first related 6 entered elsewhere.

I'm talking about the second set of six which the rubric says could be alternative definitions to the first. 27 is the alternative definition to 6.

Help please with :
8d Maybe granny goes on stage (8) ??O?T?E?

5a Accepted anguish of spirit (6) ?R?A??

8 The 'granny' isn't a relative... more of a bind. The 'stage' is a level, row of something...

5. Spirit, liquor, is the definition. An abbreviation for 'accepted' and a four-letter word for 'anguish'. The other letter must be one of those mentioned in the preamble stuff, I didn't do all of that!

of course granny knot.. Thank you Malone
... ad i should have checked the spelling of the spirit which i had in mind!

6 is the supplementary definition (as in the second set of six) to 16 - so not defined

Scarlett, glad I could help.
