Hi all, this went in pretty quickly apart from 21 where I am still stumped. Any subtle clues? I am certain I have both crossers right.

Thanks, Jono.
Ianwill, first word is a noun, a synonym for a very close match, second is a verb for when you’re short with someone or something. Defn is cheat

I thought there were some fun clues this week - as well as the usual suspects. LOI was 26 despite trying it once!

Curious, so what is the term for where they grow if not an orchard?
(btw Chambers, Collins and both Oxfords don’t specifically exclude them from the orchard definition)
