Could you be a bit more precise?
13 misprints. Can't remember what 34 D was - more info would have helped.
Question Author
Thanks and apologies. I think the 13th must be E in the second word? 34d was - Previously crumble dry leaves in cooking pan FRIER/FRYER
The second letter of the second word is an E. And it's FRIER (Fritter = to break into fragments (obsolete), less TT (teetotal, dry) )
If you've got 12 of the misprints, I think you'll be able to see the 'clue' -and here's a tip, it's two separate words.
Hi
I've come to a brick wall - the inaccessible cell and how to shade it?
I've got the seven horizontal blocks (and what they mean), I've got the two symmetrical local inhabitants and I know the overall location gleaned from the misprints. I can see no hints as to how to shade the final cell and would appreciate a gentle clue which might help me. Thanks
Geoff
What is virtually in the middle of the overall location - and what does it normally look like? Let me know if that helps or hinders!
Hi
I thought about a natural landmark yesterday morning (with three vowels the same) but it doesn't actually feature in the centre of the location and there doesn't seem to be any justification for that being a unique solution
Geoff
It was all I could come up with - it's inaccessible, it's described as being 'in the southern part of...in central...' and looked sort of centralish on the map I saw!
Thanks - I'll go along with that then but the shading ..... surely that depends on the time of day and the natural conditions (I'm only kidding now). But if this is the correct answer then it is not really a satisfactory solution to an excellent (as always) Inquisitor
Geoff
I know - it doesn't seem ideal, but I couldn't come up with anything else that worked, there's not a lot we can do with one little square. Re the shading, I went with 'its distinctive...colouring, most notably at sunset'.

Goodnight and thanks for your help

Hi, in defence of Kruger, I fear you have misunderstood the final step. It's a typically elegant finish.
Thanks Turner. Now I'm worried.
Geoff
Don't worry, you'll probably still be correct. But your natural landmark is too specific. The shaded part is a charade for a three word phrase. And the location is significant.
To clarify, the first word of the phrase is a definite article (it can also be a two word phrase omitting it)
Hi and thanks for your response. You say the shading will probably be correct - I followed 'Neveracrossword's2 advice. However I don't like to leave things unresolved and need to think some more about the 3 word charade. Should I be looking at surrounding cells?
By the way, JMW Turner (number 1) is one of my favourite artists.
Geoff
No, but consider the region where your landmark is located (the shading colour is one of the three words).
Thanks.
I'll have to wait until I'm home now with an atlas at hand.
Enjoy the rest of your day
Geoff
I'll change my plans. I just googled the attraction with the colour and came up with a very satisfactory solution. However, the three word phrase is totally new to me. You live and learn every day. Thanks for your help.
Geoff
