I try to help you each week but am becoming confused.

Do you want answers or hints?

Can you make it clearer in your posts?

[hindle-a]

Stuck in bottom left corner.
Hints please for :-A made- up language finally dies ?Shame (5)

A----

Thanks in advance.

[toalisi]

A + IDO ( made up language) < S ( finally dies)

[hindle-a]

Thanks :D

[Matakari]

Just want to know if I have the right letters for the following. please:

13a One fitted into more extensive counter(7):TAL???R
15a Entice to enter round dance(5):?O???
20a Succeeded breaking lyre's third string, once dismal(6):???STE
21a Place of exile's back in the black(5):SA??E
29a Less fattening lines include wood sorrel(5,hyphened): LO?A?
3d From Earth, over time, rising view of the sun?(9): E???O?I??

And some hints for the following, please:

15a
7d Fights objections: nothing in them: ????S?

Many thanks in advance!

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, you have the correct letters.

I think you are showing an incorrect number of letters for 7 D. It's a 5 letter answer - the definition is 'fights'.

[Matakari]

Thanks, neveracrossword!
Any hints for 15a as requested? Thanks!

[Neveracrossword]

15 You need a four-letter word for 'entice' with the usual crossword letter for 'round' put inside this - resulting in a dance.

[Matakari]

Thank you very much!

[Matakari]

Think I am near the end now! Confirmation for the following will help me, thanks!

7a BAC?
13a TALLIER?
21a SALLE?
29a LO_CAL?
3d EDITORIAL?

And finally, a hint for 34a: Pressed to move along I muttered(6):
?OINED

Many thanks again!

[bibblebub]

yes
yes
no
yes
yes

use 'pressed' to think of a word and then follow the clue instruction

[Matakari]

Many thanks, bibblebub! Oh, yes, I have been toying with the idea of ironed for 34a...See it now!

[Matakari]

A final hint then for 21a...Still do not see it!
21 Place of exile’s back in the black (5): SA?LE

Thanks again for this last hint!

[bibblebub]

famous exiles...
