23 Offa, old king/sovereign. It sounds like (allegedly!) offer, tender.

24ac FERMI (name of physicist) I’M REF reversed.

23dn OFFA. Sounds like offer = tender.

Glad we could help.

PS I know that everyone's solving experience is different, but I found today's Jumbo tough!

Hi, malone,

Thanks for the warning. I’m just about to start the Jumbo, so I hope it won’t be too tricky.

Wintonian, thanks. As has happened before, puzzles that I've found tough present no problems for others - I'm relieved to say that the converse is equally true!

Pretty easy today but assuming 19A is SNAP (match as is card game) how does that work with 'still'?

A still, a photograph, a snap?

Did you think this worked, Myla - or did you come up with something else?
