2d 3 and 4, first word can be got from the first six words, then a 4 letter word for a party to give a game

1a think of the various devices that a crossword compiler can use

10 a find the word and then enter it backwards

I’ve 2 clues left 14a and 28 across

Thanks Birder - I too am now (only, thanks to you!) stuck on 14a. for 28a, it breaks down as 1 - 3 - 3, with 1 of the 3 being a novel and the other a colour. The last word of the clue provides the answer.
