Just looked up 29a from yesterday (sorry don't do links!) and apparently
the answer is (4) letters not (5) as shown by lorus. That should help on that........but have absolutely no idea where 27a comes from.

[mallyh]

totally baffled too Captain 2 lol

[Svejk]

Something to do with Chaos?

[dannyk13]

27a.Disorder?

[vakayu]

Considering what you had to work with dannyk13 you are doing an excellent job.

[Mamyalynne]

I may be wrong but I read it as

27 State of C A S H O ....so as Saoirs said up there

TAILSPIN

[dannyk13]

Mamy.Can't see how spinning the tail of c a s h o gives chaos?Unlessyou take spinning to mean reassemble.

[Mamyalynne]

I do agree , my main reason is that the OP said thank you for the answer....we may never know.

[dannyk13]

The one thing that frustrates is not knowing if you were correct with your answers.

[Mamyalynne]

Thank you Headers, much clearer now.
