I found this crossword baffling
How do you find all the obscure word answers?
Question: I know the unclued are part of a phonetic series, but which one and how? Is it the nato alphabet?
Thank you

I don't do this puzzle but,but I have seen 'Phonetic alphabet'
given as a clue.

Hi cocobunny, if I remember correctly the preamble states the unclueds suggest members of a sequence, ie synonyms rather than the actual members.
Hi mamya, don't see you around much these days, hope you're well.

Yes, it's NATO.
If you take the unclued in the bottom right corner (?ANCE) there are two examples of this in the NATO version, once you get the right one it should help with some of the others in the sequence [because some of the other synonyms are a bit of a stretch].

Thanks everyone
