I have solved all but 2 down - 'Sugar Japanese heaps onto starter of yakimono' (7). I have made the necessary adjustment to one of the crossing answers (13) and cannot see any adjustments which could be made in the others. However I can find only one word which fits the letters I have but that doesn't fit with 'sugar' which I assume is the definition. A pointer in the right direction would be more than welcome.

My newspaper was sadly missing the Sunday section of the paper and therefore I didn't receive my EV. Very upsetting. I know it's a pain but if anyone wouldn't mind scanning me a blank copy: pegster_@hotmail.com
I would be extremely grateful. Thank you!

It should be with you.

Hi alwayspuzzled; the definition in 2d is sugar with the first 6 letters of the answer being thematic !

Alwayspuzzled, I have a similar problem with 2 Down. I have a word meaning 'sugar' - it parses very well, but results in a clash at the second letter (of 2 D and also of 10 A).


When you said 13, did you mean 12.

the sugar is j agger y

Thanks, Ginge - that sorted that out for me!

PS I wasted time earlier investigating various three-, four- and five-letter words, themed words... I should have persisted!

AH.............. THAT sort of stone ...very clever!!!

Many thanks Ginge, Malone and Xwordfan. Yes, Malone, I did mean 12 not 13. I'll put my specs on next time before I attempt to read the numbers.
