Morning all.

Completely stuck on 7d. I have: _E_M_E which I'm hoping is right, as the crossers seem totally sensible.

Any hints would be most helpful and welcome.

Thanks!

Hi Niko, your crossers are correct. Not a word I’ve come across and Brendan said the same earlier, but you can construct it from the wordplay as two letters for “setter’s” going in both directions, then the usual “that’s”

Thank you Jono. Have just googled it. Always nice to learn a new word on a Saturday. :)

Some really tricky parsing and, for once, I see the theme (Qaos always has a theme). But only when I’d finished!

Same here Ianwil. Not sure how many entries are thematic, I count at least 12, but likely more.

I am finished except for 3d (I have: _N_F) and 24d (I have: R_M_N_

All help and hints would be gratefully received.

It was a fun puzzle, and not too difficult, but those two have me completely stumped. Perhaps my crossers are wrong??

Thanks!

Thanks simond9x. Hadn't solved that one. Still searching for Jono's theme.

Neko, Your N is wrong in 3. It’s an old word and solution is hidden but not in an obvious way. For 24 think biblically…

Rocky, read your answers to 26a, 18, 24, then look for more of those…

@Neko

24d is a book (Biblical)
3d I have ?E?F
