[Bernie]

Thanks Scorpiojo. I am looking at 17d differently.I note it starts with small d -------R(9) but i still cant work it out!

[Bernie]

Could it be refreshed?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

what's the clue for 17d?

[elliemay1]

What is the exact clue for 17d?

[scorpiojo]

That's all the clue is.

[scorpiojo]

It could be regressed?

[Psybbo]

Or digresser?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

but what are the right letters? Does it start with a d or an r? I'm confused

[elliemay1]

I'm confused too. Could someone please set out the qn again.

[Bernie]

This is exactly the way the clue is given. d-------R(9) thats all that is given. Wondering if it could be regressed?

[shoota]

Only ' Defroster' fits your letter pattern......

[elliemay1]

How sure are you of those letters?
As Shoota has said, the only word fitting your letters is 'defroster.'

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Bernie, please don't think I'm daft, but the letters you say you have are de_r_s_er and then you say you think the answer is regressed, which doesn't fit with those letters. That's why I'm confused

[Bernie]

Mojo-jo-jo
Did you see the clue i posted.d--------R (9)it is a capital R which i didnt notice early on so i thimk it could be regressed

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Ahh I see

[shoota]

Yes Bernie but you also show ' the letters i have are de?r ?s?eR'
Are you now saying that the 'd' and 'R' are not placed by cross clues so it could be Re?r?s?ed?

[underwater]

I think it's regressed.....
