Hi Pauly,

9a - Single letter "Picaroon" (the setter) inside 5 letter "craving lucre" - definition is "forgivable"

14d - If you look at the words "Marxism" and "Leninism" you'll see they both contain a ?????? reversed - definition is "old issue"

6d - 2 letter "during" + 4 letter "school" + 5 letter "outcast" reversed/turned up + 4 letter "advanced" - definition is "means of deterring pests".

9 put I in a word for money-grabbing
14 look closely at the last two words - can you find something in common reversed?
6 parses 2, 4, 5 (reversed), 4

Thanks Brendan, I must have 5 and 9 wrong then - I have 5 as .P.R

Thanks Chrise

Yes, the P is wrong.

I know how 5d should work, but I haven't spotted the "parent" word!

Thanks Pauly,

5d - Is a 6 letter "fans" (admirers) minus its outer letters/removing clothing - definition is "part of game"

OK, I've seen a word that would work, but it's a bit of a jump to "fans".

That makes 14 my COD :-)

I was removing the clothing from fans and part! :-)

Glad you got it all sorted Pauly:-)
