Sorry, Lumen. I meant that the words you put into 13/25 are Theme.

Pendragon, I have 4d with a misprint i 'sand' . 'rings' is a containment indicator.

Thanks, Mattrom. I had the moving word in the wrong place.

Thanks, If the words to fill 13/25 are thematic, then the clue at 13/15 is also thematic, surely?
Also, I have 6d as a Muslim prince, but can’t parse? Am I right.

13/25 - yes
6D is what I have

I only have two left now. Any hints for what goes into 22A and 23D. I have -U-I-A and -O-C-D. Is the latter a synonym for coerced?

I’m done now! Tough.
22 is clued by 30 as you probably know. Obscure thematic but clue is fairly straightforward, famous Japanese thing followed by slang ‘cheers’.
23 down has a misprint in first word.

6d Scottish for 'off' = the middle 3 letters of the answer.
22a is thematic - the clue is lower down (answer starts with sacred site in Japan - 4 letters).
23d - [misprint in 1st word] 'wedding?' suggests CE (church) joins together the 3 letters giving - 'because of' + D.

Thanks, lumen and drxx. I shall go with my synonym for formal or enforced for 23D, but the parsing is not very satisfactory in my opinion.

Anyone know the correct procedure for entering answers to clues that are split over two or more lights (e.g. 13,25 across this month) or am I being needlessly anxious?
(Apologies if this is a tediously regular query.)
