25d Moving up, partially cleared out river. (4)

I have -D-R

I presume the answer is ODER but I can't parse it.

Spotted it now, it is in the question

clea RED O ut, backwards

To avoid confusion with the Guardian Genius thread, I assume this is the Oldie Genius, yes?

Yes, sorry, too many geniuses

No problem, mobylette, we should probably differentiate the Genius threads in the header. I’ll mention it to Norah.

I’ve amended the headings, Jon, but keeping an eye on Murray at the same time😂

Oldie 428:
22 Acc. This may be in coffee as queen takes it (8)
W - I - E -E -

It surely must be WHITENER but I can think of no ''queen'' connection or for that matter ''coffee''. Help appreciated.

As = when
Queen = ER
Takes it = put IT [inside] When ER

Wh IT en ER

Whitener is an alternative to milk for your coffee

Many thanks to you both.
